Use sail_lib.lem values in C backend
Rather than just using strings to represent literals, now use value types from sail_lib.lem to represent them. This allows for expressions to be evaluated at compile time, which will be useful for future optimisations involving constant folding and propagation, and allows the intermediate bytecode to be interpreted using the same lem builtins that the shallow embedding uses. To get this to work I had to tweak the build process slightly to allow ml files to import lem files from gen_lib/. Hopefully this doesn't break anything!
