2e91b29580 [qfcc] Start work on implementing geometric algebra
This gets only some very basics working:
 * Algebra (multi-vector) types: eg @algebra(float(3,0,1)).
 * Algebra scopes (using either the above or @algebra(TYPE_NAME) where
   the above was used in a typedef.
 * Basis blades (eg, e12) done via procedural symbols that evaluate to
   suitable constants based on the basis group for the blade.
 * Addition and subtraction of multi-vectors (only partially tested).
 * Assignment of sub-algebra multi-vectors to full-algebra multi-vectors
   (missing elements zeroed).

There's still much work to be done, but I thought it time to get
something into git.

95b8424ddf [qfcc] Use new extend instruction instead of swizzle
While swizzle does work, it requires the source to be properly aligned
and thus is not really the best choice. The extend instruction has no
alignment requirements (at all) and thus is much better suited to
converting a scalar to a vector type.

Fixes #30

ef9960c6f9 [qfcc] Implement support for the swizzle operator
The destination operand must be a full four component vector, but the
source can be smaller and small sources do not need to be aligned: the
offset of the source operand and the swizzle indices are adjusted. The
adjustments are done during final statement emission in order to avoid
confusing the data flow analyser (and that's when def offsets are known).

37f08f9d4f [qfcc] Build the Ruamoko function parameters
The parameter defs are allocated from the parameter space using a
minimum alignment of 4, and varargs functions get a va_list struct in
place of the ...

An "args" expression is unconditionally injected into the call arguments
list at the place where ... is in the list, with arguments passed
through ... coming after the ...

Arguments get through to functions now, but there's problems with taking
the address of local variables: currently done using constant pointer
defs, which can't work for the base register addressing used in Ruamoko
progs.

With the update to test-bi's printf (and a hack to qfcc for lea),
triangle.r actually works, printing the expected results (but -1 instead
of 1 for equality, though that too is actually expected). qfcc will take
a bit longer because it seems there are some design issues in address
expressions (ambiguity, and a few other things) that have pretty much
always been there.

79bd4dd724 [qfcc] Set up the function stack frame
Still need to get the base register index into the instructions, but I
think this is it for basic code generation. I should be able to start
testing Ruamoko properly fairly soon :)

66528e34fc [qfcc] Give return expressions their own type
Very simple for now (just the return value if not a void return), but
that's the last of the statements masquerading as expressions.

563de20208 [qfcc] Give branch expressions their own type
This includes calls and unconditional jumps, relative and through a
table. The parameters are all lumped into the one object, with some
being unused by the different types (eg, args and ret_type used only by
call expressions). Just having nice names for the parameters (instead of
e1 and e2) makes it nice, even with all the sub-types lumped together.

No mysterious type aliasing bugs this time ;)

65b6c366c3 [qfcc] Give assignment expressions their own type
This is getting easier (know where to look, I guess). Nicely, I found
the source of those weird type aliasing bugs :)

fa482e8ee5 [qfcc] Give address expressions their own type
Definitely a pain to get working after the switch, but definitely worth
the effort. Still exposing type aliasing bugs.

23c9a317f8 [qfcc] Give alias expressions their own type
While this was a pain to get working, that pain only went to prove the
value of using proper "types" (even if only an enum) for different
expression types: just finding all the places to edit was a chore, and
easy to make mistakes (forgetting bits here and there).

Strangely enough, this exposed a pile of *type* aliasing bugs (next
commit).
