Crashing loads of uninitialized memory
proved to be a problem when implementing
unions using qbe. This patch introduces
a new UNDEF Ref to represent data that is
known to be uninitialized. Optimization
passes can make use of it to eliminate
some code. In the last compilation stages,
UNDEF is treated as the constant 0xdeaddead.

Symbols are a useful abstraction
that occurs in both Con and Alias.
In this patch they get their own
struct. This new struct packages
a symbol name and a type; the type
tells us where the symbol name
must be interpreted (currently, in
gobal memory or in thread-local
storage).
The refactor fixed a bug in
addcon(), proving the value of
packaging symbol names with their
type.

The apple targets are not done yet.

I also moved some isel logic
that would have been repeated
a third time in util.c.

parseref() has code to reuse address constants, but this is not
done in other passes such as fold or isel. Introduce a new function
newcon() which takes a Con and returns a Ref for that constant, and
use this whenever creating address constants.
This is necessary to fix folding of address constants when one
operand is already folded. For example, in
%a =l add $x, 1
%b =l add %a, 2
%c =w loadw %b
%a and %b were folded to $x+1 and $x+3 respectively, but then the
second add is visited again since it uses %a. This gets folded to
$x+3 as well, but as a new distinct constant. This results in %b
getting labeled as bottom instead of either constant, disabling the
replacement of %b by a constant in subsequent instructions (such
as the loadw).

Reported by Alessandro Mantovani.
These addresses are likely bogus, but
they triggered an unwarranted assertion
failure. We now raise a civilized error.

Symbols in the source file are still limited in
length because the rest of the code assumes that
strings always fit in NString bytes.
Regardless, there is already a benefit because
comparing/copying symbol names does not require
using strcmp()/strcpy() anymore.

Before this commit, I tried to make sure that
two interfering temporaries never ended up in
the same phi class.
This was to make sure that their register hints
were not counterproductively stepping on each
other's toes. The idea is fine, but:
* the implementation is clumsy because it
mixes the orthogonal concepts of
(i) interference and (ii) phi classes;
* the hinting process in the register
allocator is hard to understand because
the disjoint-set data structure used for
phi classes is cut in arbitrary places.
After this commit, the phi classes *really* are
phi classes represented with a proper disjoint-set
data structure.

The arm64 ABI needs to know precisely what
floating point types are being used, so we
need to store that information.
I also made typ[] a dynamic array.

This big diff does multiple changes to allow
the addition of new targets to qbe. The
changes are listed below in decreasing order
of impact.
1. Add a new Target structure.
To add support for a given target, one has to
implement all the members of the Target
structure. All the source files where changed
to use this interface where needed.
2. Single out amd64-specific code.
In this commit, the amd64 target T_amd64_sysv
is the only target available, it is implemented
in the amd64/ directory. All the non-static
items in this directory are prefixed with either
amd64_ or amd64_sysv (for items that are
specific to the System V ABI).
3. Centralize Ops information.
There is now a file 'ops.h' that must be used to
store all the available operations together with
their metadata. The various targets will only
select what they need; but it is beneficial that
there is only *one* place to change to add a new
instruction.
One good side effect of this change is that any
operation 'xyz' in the IL now as a corresponding
'Oxyz' in the code.
4. Misc fixes.
One notable change is that instruction selection
now generates generic comparison operations and
the lowering to the target's comparisons is done
in the emitter.
GAS directives for data are the same for many
targets, so data emission was extracted in a
file 'gas.c'.
5. Modularize the Makefile.
The Makefile now has a list of C files that
are target-independent (SRC), and one list
of C files per target. Each target can also
use its own 'all.h' header (for example to
define registers).

This was not necessary as temporaries were never freed
and returned from an array zero initialized. But in the
coming load optimization, we sometimes free temporaries
by resetting fn->ntmp.

int is used all over the place for temporaries,
maybe this should be changed, I don't know.
Another thing to consider is that temporaries
are currently on 12 bits (and will be on 29
or 30 bits in the future), so int will always be
safe to store them. We just loose the free
invariant of non-negativity.
