NIFC native development status

[Araq]

Todo:

• check stack offsets and stack alignment; hint: we do not use a frame pointer
• implement conv and cast operations
• implement case statements
• implement type specific arithmetic operations
• implement copy instructions for struct assignments
• the distinction between "compute address vs value" is not implemented correctly
• implement constant folding
• implement enums (might have been a mistake to add these to NIFC?)
• probably: replace Win ABI by the System V ABI so that valgrind can check our mess
