Any references exclusively held by a weak table may be collected
without the programmer needing to free references manually. A table
can be setup to have weak keys, weak values, or both.
Added some backticks around code in docstrings to distinguish them from prose.
Light editing to `table/raw-get`. Is my change there correct? (t --> the key)
Introduces close semtantics to channels as well, but otherwise
threaded channels behave much like non-threaded channels. They have
different marshalling behavior though, and can only send values over by
packing and unpacking them. For now, this means only primitive values
although this will be expanded.
Also missing some implementation for closing threaded channels, and a
whole lot of testing. Achtung!, Caveat emptor, here be dragons and bugs.
Also make integer to size_t casts explicit rather than relying on
int32_t * sizeof(x) = size_t. This is kind of a personal preference for
this problem.
Because we use an amalgated build, feature
test macros should be set in a single file that
is included before any other headers, and is placed
at the top of the amalgamated build.
A keyword reference only counts as visited if we have
it as cached in the memoized->table, and we know it was
originally referenced from the same grammar table. If these
two conditions are true, then compilation must work correctly.
Also add janet_table_get_ex.
Before, if Janet paniced without calling table_deinit
on a table created via table_init, Janet leaked memory.
This changes tables so that tables created via table_init
us scratch memory for auto cleanup instead of normal
malloc/free.
We moved the literals true and false into one tag
type, so we an extra tag for raw pointer types
(light userdata). These can be used from the C API via
janet_wrap_pointer and janet_unwrap_pointer.
A consistent style should help with contributors and
readability. We use astyle as the formatter as can make a pretty
good approximation of the current style and my preferred style.

This should speed up start time and reduce malloc/free
usage to about 15% of what is what previously for startup.
The current cost is slightly larger binary as the representaion
of the image is currently less compact than source code.
Error handling is implemented with setjmp/longjmp so code
can be more concise. This required a very large but straight forward refactor for all
of the libraries.
