Johan B.W. de Vries b48260ccfa Removes the special casing for foldl
Now both dynamic and static arrays can be fully fold'ed.

Also adds support for type classes that have a function
argument.

Also, various usability improvements to WasmGenerator.

Also, integration tests now don't dump their stuff without
VERBOSE=1, this speeds up the tests suite by a factor of 9.

Also, tests can now set with_traces to add a number of
tracing functions for help debugging your code.

# TODO
- Decide between lineair types / uniqueness vs garbage collector
- https://borretti.me/article/how-australs-linear-type-checker-works
- Rename constant to literal
- Implement a trace() builtin for debugging
- Check if we can use DataView in the Javascript examples, e.g. with setUint32
- Implement a FizzBuzz example
- Also, check the codes for FIXME and TODO
- Allocation is done using pointers for members, is this desired?
- See if we want to replace Fractional with Real, and add Rational, Irrationl, Algebraic, Transendental
- Implement q32? q64? Two i32/i64 divided?
- Does Subscript do what we want? It's a language feature rather a normal typed thing. How would you implement your own Subscript-able type?
- Clean up Subscript implementation - it's half implemented in the compiler. Makes more sense to move more parts to stdlib_types.
- Have a set of rules or guidelines for the constraint comments, they're messy.
- Why is expression_subscript_bytes using a helper method but expression_subscript_static_array is not?
- calculate_alloc_size can be reworked; is_member isn't useful with TYPE_INFO_MAP
- Parser is putting stuff in ModuleDataBlock
- Surely the compiler should build data blocks
- Also put the struct.pack constants in TYPE_INFO_MAP
- Make prelude more an actual thing
- Merge in compiler.INSTANCES
- Make it less build in - have a environment class of some kind
- Implemented Bounded: https://hackage.haskell.org/package/base-4.21.0.0/docs/Prelude.html#t:Bounded
- Try to implement the min and max functions using select
- Filter out methods that aren't used; other the other way around (easier?) only add __ methods when needed
- Move foldr into type class methods
- Functions don't seem to be a thing on typing level yet?
- Related to the FIXME in phasm_type3?
- Type constuctor should also be able to constuct placeholders - somehow.
