* Variables were previously named "Local"s because they described a
local variable - however, this is kind of a misnomer because it
handles globals as well. This has been changed pretty much everywhere
when appropriate (hopefully).
* Renamed obj/names.rs to obj/reserved.rs, freeing up the "names" module
for the new Names handle
* Renamed obj/locals.rs to obj/names.rs, see above

A vector of instructions and constants can now be decompiled as text on
the terminal to give an idea of what the VM is doing.

I'm able to compile some basic expressions into instructions using the
`not` binary. Big first step, now we need to introduce branches and
loops to the syntax.

* Upon entering a new body, the local scope variables are collected.
* VM instruction PushLocal now uses a `Local` value instead of a `Sym`
value
* Compilation of a new AST body will implicitly create a new scope

* Basic are a more linear way of representing code. Thunks beget basic
blocks, which beget vectors of instructions.
* Basic blocks are also being flattened into a vector of instructions
(hopefully, no tests done yet)
* OH yeah locals can be collected too (but currently are not being
collected in the compiler, that should come soon)

Some instructions are currently implemented. Others are not. This is
mostly just a checkpoint so I can implement lexical name definitions.

While I like the idea of having a runtime completely decoupled from the
syntax and compiler, I don't think this is that big of a project for
that to be necessary or even useful yet.

* Compile module is able to compile bytecode (or so it seems...)
* Runtime crate has had some new stuff added to it, mostly with objects
and vtables. Still not 100% on the object method function call story,
but I guess it'll be tackled when we get there.
