We've settled on the nomenclature for the artifacts the compiler
pipeline produces:
1. Tokens
2. AST (Abstract Syntax Tree)
3. ZIR (Zig Intermediate Representation)
4. AIR (Analyzed Intermediate Representation)
5. Machine Code
Renaming `ir` identifiers to `air` will come with the inevitable
air-memory-layout branch that I plan to start after the 0.8.0 release.
This allows us to differentiate between regular locals and variables that create multiple locals
on the stack such as optionals and structs.
Now `struct_a = struct_b;` works and only updates a reference, rather than update all local's values.
Also created more test cases to test against this.
- When returning within a block, we must use an explicit return opcode. For now always emit the opcode when calling return, rather than using implicit return statements.
- Also added a more comprehensive test case to test for enum values using conditions
- This adds support for enum values using field indexes
- EmitConstant's signature was changed so it's easier to recursively call it using a different type (enum -> int type).
- Implemented initial support for bitcast which for now just returns the `WValue` of the operand.

We're going to want to improve the stage2 test harness to print
the source file name when a compile error occurs otherwise std lib
contributors are going to see some confusing CI failures when they cause
stage2 AstGen compile errors.

- this one might be problematic; start.zig looks for `main` in the
root source file, not `_main`. Not sure why there is an underscore
there in master branch.
As it stands, the backend is incomplete, and there is no active contributor,
making it dead weight.
However, anyone is free to resurrect this backend at any time.

Mainly I wanted Jakub's new macOS code for respecting stack size, since
we now depend on it for debug builds able to pass one of the test cases
for recursive comptime function calls with `@setEvalBranchQuota`.
The conflicts were all trivial.
Decl objects need to know whether they are the owner of the Type/Value
associated with them, in order to decide whether to destroy the
associated Namespace, Fn, or Var when cleaning up.
