This is a fairly big commit, but it actually changes very little.
getValue should really be a property of the builder (or frame), where
the previously created instructions are kept.
This is the first commit in a series to refactor the compiler. The
intention is to make sure every function to be compiled eventually has
its own IR builder. This will make it much easier to do other
refactorings in the future:
* Most code won't depend (directly) on the central Compiler object,
perhaps making it possible to eliminate it in the future. Right now
it's embedded in the `builder` struct but individual fields from the
`Compiler` can easily be moved into the `builder` object.
* Some functions are not directly exposed in Go SSA, they are wrapper
functions for something. At the moment they are included in the list
of functions to be compiled with the reachability analysis
(SimpleDCE) in the ir package, but eventually this reachability
analys will be removed. At that point, it would be very convenient
to be able to simply build a function with a new IR builder.
The `compilerContext` struct makes sure that it is not possible for
`builder` methods to accidentally use global state such as the global IR
builder. It is a transitional mechanism and may be removed when
finished.
Most of these errors are actually "todo" or "unimplemented" errors, so
the return type is known. This means that compilation can proceed (with
errors) even though the output will be incorrect. This is useful because
this way, all errors in a compilation unit can be shown together to the
user.
