330be7766f Represent PrimVals as "bitbags".
Now instead of holding a native type based on the tag, all PrimVals
store a u64 (the `bits`), along with a `kind` corresponding to the
variant as it would be in the old PrimVal representation.

This commit makes no major optimizations and attempts to not change any
behaviour. There will be commits to follow that make use of this
representation to eliminate unnecessary allocation hacks like in
`value_to_primval`.

A number of places could be even more cleaned up after this commit,
particularly in `cast.rs`.

5f65ee2713 Refactor in preparation for Value locals.
Turning locals into `Vec<Value>` will allow writing `PrimVal` results
directly into the locals array without creating `memory::Allocation`s
for every local.

This will entail passing around a generalized kind of `Lvalue` instead
of `Pointer`s for the destinations of operations. Replacing `Pointer`
with `Lvalue` is mostly done with this commit, but expanding `Lvalue`
will come later.

This commit turns every local from `Pointer` into `Value::ByRef(ptr)`.
Locals which are `Value::ByVal(prim_val)` will come in a later commit.
