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.

9c8e13aa4c [qfcc] Implement automatic casting between same-width vectors
This allows all the tests to build and pass. I'll need to add tests to
ensure warnings happen when they should and that all vec operations are
correct (ouch, that'll be a lot of work), but vectors and quaternions
are working again.

1eb8b61b83 [qfcc] Clean up handling of value expressions
I'd created new_value_expr some time ago, but never used it...
Also, replace convert_* with cast_expr to the appropriate type (removes
a pile of value check and create code).

04f60e5ff1 [qfcc] Rework vector expression handling
Use with quaternions and vectors is a little broken in that
vec4/quaternion and vec3/vector are not the same types (by design) and
thus a cast is needed (not what I want, though). However, creating
vectors (that happen to be int due to int constants) does seem to be
working nicely otherwise.

67bdbc6f7a [qfcc] Split out vector expression code
I plan on extending it for the new vector types and expr.c is just too
big to work in nicely.
