compiler, language: Implement @kernel_from_string

With support for polymorphism (or type erasure on pointers to
member functions) being absent in the ARTIQ compiler, code
generation is vital to be able to implement abstractions that
work with user-provided lists/trees of objects with uniform
interfaces (e.g. a common base class, or duck typing), but
different concrete types.

@kernel_from_string has been in production use for exactly
this use case in Oxford for the better part of a year now
(various places in ndscan).

GitHub: Fixes #1089.

"""Build a kernel function from the supplied source code in string form,
similar to ``exec()``/``eval()``.
Operating on pieces of source code as strings is a very brittle form of
metaprogramming; kernels generated like this are hard to debug, and
inconvenient to write. Nevertheless, this can sometimes be useful to work
around restrictions in ARTIQ Python. In that instance, care should be taken
to keep string-generated code to a minimum and cleanly separate it from
surrounding code.
The resulting function declaration is also evaluated using ``exec()`` for
use from host Python code. To encourage a modicum of code hygiene, no
global symbols are available by default; any objects accessed by the
function body must be passed in explicitly as parameters.
:param parameters: A list of parameter names the generated functions
accepts. Each entry can either be a string or a tuple of two strings;
if the latter, the second element specifies the type annotation.
:param body_code: The code for the function body, in string form.
``return`` statements can be used to return values, as usual.
:param decorator: One of ``kernel`` or ``portable`` (optionally with
parameters) to specify how the function will be executed.
:return: The function generated from the arguments.
