Few improvements to FFI types:
1. Export `PointerObject` for convenience. It's fairly commonly used in
library code and thus should be exported.
2. Fix various comments around `PointerValue` and `UnsafePointer` and
expand upon them to better reflect reality.
3. Instead of using a `Record<"value", type>[T]` for determining the
type of an FFI symbol parameter use direct `T extends "value" ? type :
never` comparison.
The last part enables smuggling extra information into the parameter and
return value string declarations at the type level. eg. Instead of just
`"u8"` the parameter can be `"u8" & { [brand]: T }` for some `T extends
number`. That `T` can then be extracted from the parameter to form the
TypeScript function's parameter or return value type. Essentially, this
enables type-safe FFI!
The foremost use-cases for this are enums and pointer safety. These are
implemented in the second commit which should enable, in a backwards
compatible way, for pointer parameters to declare what sort of pointer
they mean, functions to declare what the API definition of the native
function is, and for numbers to declare what Enum they stand for (if
any).
This commit stabilizes "Deno.serve()", which becomes the
preferred way to create HTTP servers in Deno.
Documentation was adjusted for each overload of "Deno.serve()"
API and the API always binds to "127.0.0.1:8000" by default.
This PR changes Web IDL interfaces to be declared with `var` instead of
`class`, so that accessing them via `globalThis` does not raise type
errors.
Closes #13390.
This commit changes the return type of an unstable `Deno.serve()` API
to instead return a `Deno.Server` object that has a `finished` field.
This change is done in preparation to be able to ref/unref the HTTP
server.
This commit updates the `Deno.Kv` API to return the new commited
versionstamp for the mutated data from `db.set` and `ao.commit`. This is
returned in the form of a `Deno.KvCommitResult` object that has a
`versionstamp` property.
This commit adds unstable "Deno.openKv()" API that allows to open
a key-value database at a specified path.

Adds support for passing and returning structs as buffers to FFI. This does not implement fastapi support for structs. Needed for certain system APIs such as AppKit on macOS.
This commit removes three unstable Deno APIs:
- "Deno.spawn()"
- "Deno.spawnSync()"
- "Deno.spawnChild()"
These APIs were replaced by a unified "Deno.Command" API.
Refactors the `Deno.Command` class to not handle any state, but only being an intermediary to calling its methods, and as such any methods and properties besides `output`, `outputSync` & `spawn` have been removed. Interracting with a `spawn`ed subprocess now works by using the methods and properties on the returned class of the `spawn` method.
