Andreas Kling 69dddd4ef5 LibJS: Start fleshing out a bytecode for the JavaScript engine :^)
This patch begins the work of implementing JavaScript execution in a
bytecode VM instead of an AST tree-walk interpreter.

It's probably quite naive, but we have to start somewhere.

The basic idea is that you call Bytecode::Generator::generate() on an
AST node and it hands you back a Bytecode::Block filled with
instructions that can then be interpreted by a Bytecode::Interpreter.

This first version only implements two instructions: Load and Add. :^)

Each bytecode block has infinity registers, and the interpreter resizes
its register file to fit the block being executed.

Two new `js` options are added in this patch as well:

`-d` will dump the generated bytecode
`-b` will execute the generated bytecode

Note that unless `-d` and/or `-b` are specified, none of the bytecode
related stuff in LibJS runs at all. This is implemented in parallel
with the existing AST interpreter. :^)
