fixes #21273; io.readLine off by one

(cherry picked from commit c4d3d65)

(cherry picked from commit 06f02bb)

* Implemented level based macro expand functionality

- it can handle single macro call or expand whole function/proc/etc and it

- In addition, I have altered the parser to provide the endInfo for the node.
The usefulness of the `endInfo` is not limited to the `expandMacro`
functionality but also it is useful for `ideOutline` functionality and I have
altered the ideOutline functionality to use `endInfo`. Note `endInfo` most of
the time is lost during the AST transformation thus in `nimsuggest.nim` I am
using freshly parsed tree to get the location information.

* Make sure we stop expanding correctly

* Test CI

* Fix tv3_outline.nim

- needs #20168 to make the stuff working

I went for this minimal solution because it seems like `compiler.nimble` and
`nimsuggest.nimble` are not in use

…#21349)

* This adds `parseutils.parseSize`, an inverse to `strutils.formatSize`
which has existed since 2017.

It is useful for parsing the compiler's own output logs (like SuccessX)
or many other scenarios where "human readable" units have been chosen.
The doc comment and tests explain accepted syntax in detail.

Big units lead to small numbers, often with a fractional part, but we
parse into an `int64` since that is what `formatSize` stringifies and
this is an inverse over partial function slots.  Although metric
prefixes z & y for zettabyte & yottabyte are accepted, these will
saturate the result at `int64.high` unless the qualified number is a
small fraction.  This should not be much of a problem until such sizes
are common (at which point another overload with the parse result
either `float64` or `int128` could be added).

Tests avoids `test()` because of a weakly related static: test() failure
as mentioned in #21325. This is a
more elemental VM failure.  As such, it needs its own failure exhibition
issue that is a smaller test case.  (I am working on that, but unless
there is a burning need to `parseSize` at compile-time before run-time
it need not hold up this PR.)

* This worked with `int` but fails with `int64`.  Try for green tests.

* Lift 2-result matching into a `checkParseSize` template and format as a
table of input & 2 expected outputs which seems nicer and to address
#21349 (review)

* Fix (probably) the i386 trouble by using `int64` consistently.

* Improve documentation by mentioning saturation.

* Improve documentation with `runnableExamples` and a little more detail in
the main doc comment based on excellent code review by @juancarlospaco:
#21349 (review)

* Address some more @juancarlospaco code review concerns.

* Remove a stray space.

* Mention milli-bytes in docs to maybe help clarify why wild conventions
are so prone to going case-insensitive-metric.

* Add some parens.

(cherry picked from commit 1d06c2b)

…ws (#21375)

* Add general purpose `setFileSize` (unexported for now).  Use to simplify
`memfiles.open` as well as make robust (via hard allocation, not merely
`ftruncate` address space allocation) on systems with `posix_fallocate`.

As part of this, fix a bad `closeHandle` return check bug on Windows and
add `MemFile.resize` for Windows now that setFileSize makes that easier.

* Adapt existing test to exercise newly portable `MemFile.resize`.

* Since Apple has never provided `posix_fallocate`, provide a fallback.
This is presently written in terms of `ftruncate`, but it can be
improved to use `F_PREALLOCATE` instead, as mentioned in a comment.
