Should hopefully fix memory leak in RISC-V.
Also adds an optimization pass that removes copying structs and allows
some structs to simply alias each other and avoid copying their
contents. This requires knowing certain things about the lifetimes of
the structs involved, as can't free the struct if another variable is
referencing it - therefore we conservatively only apply this
optimization for variables that are lifted outside function
definitions, and should therefore never get freed until the model
exits - however this may cause issues outside ARMv8, as there may be
cases where a struct can exist within a variant type (which are not
yet subject to this lifting optimisation), that would break these
assumptions - therefore this optimisation is only enabled with the
-Oexperimental flag.

This optimisation re-uses variables if possible, rather than
allocating new ones.
|

- Propagate types more accurately to improve optimization on ANF
representation.
- Add a generic optimization pass to remove redundant variables that
simply alias other variables.
- Modify Sail interactive mode, so it can compile a specification with
the :compile command, view generated intermediate representation via
the :ir <function> command, and step-through the IR with :exec <exp>
(although this is very incomplete)
- Introduce a third bitvector representation, between fast
fixed-precision bitvectors, and variable length large
bitvectors. The bitvector types are now from most efficient to least
* CT_fbits for fixed precision, 64-bit or less bitvectors
* CT_sbits for 64-bit or less, variable length bitvectors
* CT_lbits for arbitrary variable length bitvectors
- Support for generating C code using CT_sbits is currently
incomplete, it just exists in the intermediate representation right
now.
- Include ctyp in AV_C_fragment, so we don't have to recompute it

constructors
Add a new printing function for debugging that recursively prints
constructor types.
Fix an interpreter bug when pattern matching on constructors with
tuple types.

Now all we need to do is make sure the RISC-V builtins are mapped to
the correct C functions, and RISC-V in C should work
(hopefully). We're still missing some of the functions in sail.c for
the mappings so those have to be implemented.

Allow pat_lits rewrite to map L_unit to wildcard patterns, rather than
introducing eq_unit tests as guards.
Add a fold_function and fold_funcl functions in rewriter.ml that apply
the pattern and expression algebras to top-level functions, which
means that they correctly get applied to top-level function patterns
when they are used. Currently modifying the re-writing passes to do
this introduces some bugs which needs investigated further. The
current situation is that top-level patterns and patterns elsewhere
are often treated differently because rewrite_exp doesn't (and indeed
cannot, due to how the re-writer is structured) rewrite top level
patterns.
Fix pattern completeness check for unit literals
Fix a bug in Sail->ANF transform where blocks were always annotated
with type unit incorrectly. This caused issues in pattern literal
re-writes where the guard was a block returning a boolean. A test case
for this is added as test/c/and_block.sail.
Fix a bug caused by nested polymorphic function calls and matching in
top-level patterns. Test case is test/c/tl_poly_match.sail.
Pass location info through codegen_conversion for better error
reporting

Make the C l-expression type in Sail more generic and expressive, and
refactor the generation of conversions into a seperate
codegen_conversion function, which can handle more complex cases than
the previous more ad-hoc method.
|

Ensure that this works even when the union types are dependent in the wrong order, before topologically sorting definitions. We do this by calling fix_variant_ctyps on all cdefs by passing a list of
prior cdefs to specialize_variants.

Test the builtin functions by compiling them to C, OCaml, and OCaml
via Lem. Split up some of the longer builtin test programs to avoid
stack overflows when compiling to OCaml, as 3000+ line long blocks can
cause issues with some re-writing steps.
Also test constant-folding with builtins (this should reduce the
asserts in these files to assert true), and also test constant folding
with the C compilation.
Fix a bug whereby vectors with heap-allocated elements were not
initialized correctly.
Fix a bug caused by compiling and optimising empty vector literals.
Fix an OCaml test case that broke due to the ref type being used. Now
uses references to registers.
Fix a bug where Sail would output big integers that lem can't
parse. Checks if integer is between Int32.min_int and Int32.max_int
and if not, use integerOfString to represent the integer. Really this
should be fixed in Lem.
Make the python test runner script the default for testing builtins
and running the C compilation tests in test/run_tests.sh
Add a ocaml_build_dir option that sets a custom build directory for
OCaml. This is needed for running OCaml tests in parallel so the
builds don't clobber one another.

We now generate anonymous types in the correct order, but post specialisation more dependencies can occur between named types, so an additional
sorting step is needed to ensure that these happen in the correct order. In theory we could end up with circular dependencies here that don't exist
at the Sail source level, but this shouldn't occur often (or ever) in practice. I think this is fixable but it would require some code generator
changes.

Registers can now be marked as configuration registers, for example:
register configuration CFG_RVBAR = 0x1300000
They work like ordinary registers except they can only be set by
functions with the 'configuration' effect and have no effect when
read. They also have an initialiser, like a let-binding. Internally
there is a new reg_dec constructor DEC_config. They are intended to
represent configuration parameters for the model, which can change
between runs, but don't change during execution. Currently they'll
only work when compiled to C. Internally registers can now have custom
effects for reads and writes rather than just rreg and wreg, so the
type signatures of Env.add_register and Env.get_register have changed,
as well as the Register lvar, so in the type checker we now write:
Env.add_register id read_effect write_effect typ
rather than
Env.add_register id typ
For the corresponding change to ASL parser there's a function
is_config in asl_to_sail.ml which controls what becomes a
configuration register for ARM. Some things we have to keep as
let-bindings because Sail can't handle them changing at runtime -
e.g. the length of vectors in other top-level definitions. Luckily
__SetConfig doesn't (yet) try to change those options.
Together these changes allow us to translate the ASL __SetConfig
function, which means we should get command-line option compatibility
with ArchEx for running the ARM conformance tests.

Refactor the C compilation process by moving out the conversion to
A-normal form into its own file. Also make the A-normal form AST
parameterised by the type of the types annotating it. The idea being we
can have a typ aexp -> ctyp aexp translation, converting to low-level
types at a slightly higher level before mapping into our low-level IR.
This would fix some issues we have where the type of variables change
due to flow typing, because we could map the sail types to low-level
types in the ANF ast where we still have some knowledge about the
structure of the original Sail.

Previously the ANF->IR translation cared too much about how things
were allocated in C, so it had to constantly check whether things
needed to be allocated on the stack or heap, and generate different
cequences of IR instructions depending on either. This change removes
the ialloc IR instruction, and changes iinit and idecl so that the
code generator now generates different C for the same IR instructions
based on the variable types involved.
The next change in this vein would be to merge icopy and iconvert at
the IR level so that conversions between uint64_t and large-bitvectors
are inserted by the code generator. This would be good because it
would make the ANF->IR translation more robust to changes in the types
of variables caused by flow-typing, and optimization passes could
convert large bitvectors to uint64_t as local changes.

optimizations.
Move the utility functions for graph generation and pretty printing of
intermediate representation instructions into a separate file,
bytecode_util.ml, by analogy with ast_util.ml.
Add an optimization pass that searches for specific patterns of struct
updates and removes uncessary copying of the structs involved. With
this optimisation pass the time taken for u-boot to run approx
57,000,000 instructions goes down from about 11-12 minutes to 8
minutes (about 120,000 IPS).
