unpacking for assignments, call arguments, and returns. This
change revamps the whole assignment compilation system to be
multi-valued, using the new MultiType type and multiV value.
Function calls, returns, and assignments now share a lot of
code and produce very consistent error messages.

function calling. Implement a type compiler and named types.
Implement a universal scope containing built-in named types,
and some built-in constants. Implement a simple virtual
machine for executing statements and single-valued return.
Fix many places that incorrectly dealt with named types. In
particular, the Type.Zero methods now use the type's bit count
to determine the appropriate value representation. As a
result, a bit count of 0 now means architecture-dependent and
bounded types use unsafe.Sizeof to determine the correct
bounds. Previously, the bounds on a 32-bit machine would have
been wrong.
Eliminated Type.compatible, since the implementation is
equivalent for all types. Added Type.rep that shallowly
strips named types. Replaced almost all uses of Type.literal
with Type.rep.
Fix implementation of assign-op's so it only evaluates the
left side once. As part of this, there is now a generic way
to separate out the effect and value of an expression.

all type-specific value functions, and use ZeroVal to create
new frames. Remove Value.Type; it was unused and difficult
for values with composite types. Add Value.Assign methods.

Some cleanup. Elem() on PtrType is now just Elem and matches
with ArrayType. Generators now switch over the result type
instead of the operand type. Delete unused diag function.

container for values.
Instead of having one evaluator function that returns a
generic Value, there is now an evaluator function for each
generalized type that simply returns a native type.
The compiler is more type-safe now because there are almost no
type conversions at evaluation time and it's impossible to
invoke a nil evaluator function during evaluation. This also
makes ideals and pointers really clean.
As an added bonus, expression evaluation should be faster
because it doesn't require heap allocation for every
intermediate value, type switches, or lots of conversions to
and from Value. It also involves fewer function calls.
