release: ninja v1.5.1

[Nico Weber]

I've tagged a new release of Ninja, version v1.5.1

(I've also tagged v1.5.0, but it had a bug on Windows, so let's not talk about that.)

== Release notes

Features:

- New "console" pool. Edges that set `pool = console` get access to stdin and stdout, but only one such edge is allowed to run at once.

- On Windows, generators can set msvc_deps_prefix to configure the string ninja looks for to extract dependency information from cl.exe. This can be used to make non-English versions of cl.exe work.

Tweaks:

- Recompacting removes more entries from the build and deps logs.

- New, faster way of checking file times on Windows. (Use `-d nostatcache` to compare to the old way.)

- Add a manifest parsing perftest and generator that generates random build manifests.

Bug fixes:

- $in, $out are escaped more robustly.

- `depfile=$out.d` now works if $out gets escaped.

- ninja doesn't error out when it tries to create a directory and the directory already exists.

- Ninja now accepts both / and \ on windows when making directories.

- The msvs helper process now ignores cl.exe's stderr output.

- \r\n line endings are now accepted in depfiles.

- depfile file names can now contain '{' and '}'.

- -t compdb no longer crashes on edges with emtpy inputs.

- Compiling on debian unstable now works.

- 'keeprsp' is now included in the spelling suggestestions for -d

Improvements to shell completion, editor integrations, etc:

- Many improvements to ninja-mode.el.

- ninja_syntax.py is now faster.

- bash completion and zsh completion provides completions more often.

- ninja.vim now highlights $$ correctly.
