compiler: support function pointers outside of addrspace 0

In LLVM 8, the AVR backend has moved all function pointers to address
space 1 by default. Much of the code still assumes function pointers
live in address space 0, leading to assertion failures.

This commit fixes this problem by autodetecting function pointers and
avoiding them in interface pseudo-calls.
