WIP: rewrite C++ backend to be CHEADmaster

+ C allows for a bit more control, and we can manually handle closure
  contexts. For example `examples/fib.fwd` now works for effectively any
  `n`, pretty cool.

+ Fairly slow Fibonacci, I must admit. Initial profiling indicates it's
  mainly due to branch mispredictions, but I'll have to look into this a
  bit deeper.

+ The code is a bit hacked together, for now I'm more interested in
  getting things working, I'll worry about making things pretty later.

+ For testing, there's also initial support for modules, just so I can
  print stuff to the terminal

+ This commit is way too big, lol
