stage2: inferred local variables
This patch introduces the following new things:
Types:
- inferred_alloc
- This is a special value that tracks a set of types that have been stored
to an inferred allocation. It does not support most of the normal type queries.
However it does respond to `isConstPtr`, `ptrSize`, `zigTypeTag`, etc.
- The payload for this type simply points to the corresponding Value
payload.
Values:
- inferred_alloc
- This is a special value that tracks a set of types that have been stored
to an inferred allocation. It does not support any of the normal value queries.
ZIR instructions:
- store_to_inferred_ptr,
- Same as `store` but the type of the value being stored will be used to infer
the pointer type.
- resolve_inferred_alloc
- Each `store_to_inferred_ptr` puts the type of the stored value into a set,
and then `resolve_inferred_alloc` triggers peer type resolution on the set.
The operand is a `alloc_inferred` or `alloc_inferred_mut` instruction, which
is the allocation that needs to have its type inferred.
Changes to the C backend:
* Implements the bitcast instruction. If the source and dest types
are both pointers, uses a cast, otherwise uses memcpy.
* Tests are run with -Wno-declaration-after-statement. Someday we can
conform to this but not today.
In ZIR form it looks like this:
```zir
fn_body main { // unanalyzed
%0 = dbg_stmt()
=>%1 = alloc_inferred()
%2 = declval_in_module(Decl(add))
%3 = deref(%2)
%4 = param_type(%3, 0)
%5 = const(TypedValue{ .ty = comptime_int, .val = 1})
%6 = as(%4, %5)
%7 = param_type(%3, 1)
%8 = const(TypedValue{ .ty = comptime_int, .val = 2})
%9 = as(%7, %8)
%10 = call(%3, [%6, %9], modifier=auto)
=>%11 = store_to_inferred_ptr(%1, %10)
=>%12 = resolve_inferred_alloc(%1)
%13 = dbg_stmt()
%14 = ret_type()
%15 = const(TypedValue{ .ty = comptime_int, .val = 3})
%16 = sub(%10, %15)
%17 = as(%14, %16)
%18 = return(%17)
} // fn_body main
```
I have not played around with very many test cases yet. Some interesting
ones that I want to look at before merging:
```zig
var x = blk: {
var y = foo();
y.a = 1;
break :blk y;
};
```
In the above test case, x and y are supposed to alias.
```zig
var x = if (bar()) blk: {
var y = foo();
y.a = 1;
break :blk y;
} else blk: {
var z = baz();
z.b = 1;
break :blk z;
};
```
In the above test case, x, y, and z are supposed to alias.
I also haven't tested with `var` instead of `const` yet.
