The representation of TList(T) is changed from `{T*, u32}` to
`{T*, u32}*`. The old representation forbids changing the length of a
list when the list is passed as a parameter into functions, as the
length is passed by value. The representation now matches with nac3.
We don't need to know whether there's a outer finally block
that's already implicit in the current break and continue
target.

When we have a trys inside a loop then we want to make sure any
finallys are executed by break and continue inside this try. But
this shouldn't pull finallys defined outside the loop in to the
loop. This change resets the `outer_final` attribute when
visiting for and while loops so that this doesn't happen.

* init() now also clear and resets more state including the interpolators.
If not done, this PLL unlocks/locks may lead to random interpolator state
on boot to which the CICs react badly.
* Use and expose `t_frame`
* Clarify implementation state of `read()`
Otherwise, the exception message might be allocated on a stack, and will
become a dangling pointer when the exception is raised.
This will break some code that constructs exceptions with a function by
passing the message as a parameter because we cannot know if the parameter
is a constant. A way to mitigate this would be to defer this check to
LLVM IR codegen stage, and do inlining first for those exception
allocation functions, but I am not sure if we will guarantee inlining
for certain functions, and whether this is really needed.
Note that because we changed exception representation from using string
names as exception identifier into using integer IDs, we need to
initialize the embedding map in order to allocate the integer IDs. Also,
we can no longer print the exception names and messages from the kernel,
we will need the host to map exception IDs to names, and may need the
host to map string IDs to actual strings (messages can be static strings
in the firmware, or strings stored in the host only).
We now check for exception IDs for lit tests, which are fixed because we
preallocated all builtin exceptions.
Ported from:
M-Labs/artiq-zynq#162
This includes new API for exception handling, some refactoring to avoid
code duplication for exception structures, and modified protocols to
send nested exceptions and avoid string allocation.
Instead of removing basic blocks with no predecessor, we will now mark
and remove all blocks that are unreachable from the entry block. This
can handle loops that are dead code. This is needed as we will now
generate more complicated code for exception handling which the old dead
code eliminator failed to handle.
Exceptions are now allocated in the runtime when we raise the exception,
and destroyed when we exit the catch block. Nested exception and try
block is now supported, and should behave the same as in CPython.
Exceptions raised in except blocks will now unwind through finally
blocks, matching the behavior in CPython. Reraise will now preserve
backtrace.
Phi block LLVM IR generation is modified to handle landingpads, which
one ARTIQ IR will map to multiple LLVM IR.
