compiler: analyze type and value of global declaration separately
This commit separates semantic analysis of the annotated type vs value of a global declaration, therefore allowing recursive and mutually recursive values to be declared. Every `Nav` which undergoes analysis now has *two* corresponding `AnalUnit`s: `.{ .nav_val = n }` and `.{ .nav_ty = n }`. The `nav_val` unit is responsible for *fully resolving* the `Nav`: determining its value, linksection, addrspace, etc. The `nav_ty` unit, on the other hand, resolves only the information necessary to construct a *pointer* to the `Nav`: its type, addrspace, etc. (It does also analyze its linksection, but that could be moved to `nav_val` I think; it doesn't make any difference). Analyzing a `nav_ty` for a declaration with no type annotation will just mark a dependency on the `nav_val`, analyze it, and finish. Conversely, analyzing a `nav_val` for a declaration *with* a type annotation will first mark a dependency on the `nav_ty` and analyze it, using this as the result type when evaluating the value body. The `nav_val` and `nav_ty` units always have references to one another: so, if a `Nav`'s type is referenced, its value implicitly is too, and vice versa. However, these dependencies are trivial, so, to save memory, are only known implicitly by logic in `resolveReferences`. In general, analyzing ZIR `decl_val` will only analyze `nav_ty` of the corresponding `Nav`. There are two exceptions to this. If the declaration is an `extern` declaration, then we immediately ensure the `Nav` value is resolved (which doesn't actually require any more analysis, since such a declaration has no value body anyway). Additionally, if the resolved type has type tag `.@"fn"`, we again immediately resolve the `Nav` value. The latter restriction is in place for two reasons: * Functions are special, in that their externs are allowed to trivially alias; i.e. with a declaration `extern fn foo(...)`, you can write `const bar = foo;`. This is not allowed for non-function externs, and it means that function types are the only place where it is possible for a declaration `Nav` to have a `.@"extern"` value without actually being declared `extern`. We need to identify this situation immediately so that the `decl_ref` can create a pointer to the *real* extern `Nav`, not this alias. * In certain situations, such as taking a pointer to a `Nav`, Sema needs to queue analysis of a runtime function if the value is a function. To do this, the function value needs to be known, so we need to resolve the value immediately upon `&foo` where `foo` is a function. This restriction is simple to codify into the eventual language specification, and doesn't limit the utility of this feature in practice. A consequence of this commit is that codegen and linking logic needs to be more careful when looking at `Nav`s. In general: * When `updateNav` or `updateFunc` is called, it is safe to assume that the `Nav` being updated (the owner `Nav` for `updateFunc`) is fully resolved. * Any `Nav` whose value is/will be an `@"extern"` or a function is fully resolved; see `Nav.getExtern` for a helper for a common case here. * Any other `Nav` may only have its type resolved. This didn't seem to be too tricky to satisfy in any of the existing codegen/linker backends. Resolves: #131
