Changes:
- `pool format is completely replaced
- supported types: `STR`, `INT32`, `INT64`, `FLOAT`
- `FLOAT` may be replaced by binary representation in the future
- insert `NUL` after string literals in `mrb` files
- `irep->pool` no longer store values in `mrb_value`
- instead it stores in `mrb_pool_value`
- less allocation
- `mrb_irep` can be stored in ROM
I sometimes see Bison related problems in setting up build environments.
Therefore to remove Bison from build time dependencies, add `y.tab.c`
generated by Bison to the repository.
The reduction of dependency at build time also reduces the labor and time
for setup and installation in CI.
In addition, a path in `#line` directive is converted to a relative path so
that its path is constant regardless of development environments.
- It can now deal with operands in the range of `OP_EXT*`.
- It can now call the same method as the variable name without arguments.
```ruby
def a
"Safe!"
end
a = "Auto!"
eval "a()" # call method `a`
```

It was making a negative integer if the highest-order bit of a 16-bit
integer was 1.
no patched:
```ruby
p 0x7fff # => 32767
p 0x8000 # => -32768
p 0xffff # => -1
p 0x10000 # => 65536
```
Which loads 16bit integer to the register. The instruction number should
be reorder on massive instruction refactoring. The instruction is added
for `mruby/c` which had performance issue with `OP_EXT`. With this
instruction, `mruby/c` VM can just raise errors on `OP_EXT` extension
instructions.
Recent `bison` warns for `%pure-parser`. We kept it since MacOS only
provide ancient `bison`, but the warning is noisy and there's no hope
that Apple will upgrade `bison`. MacOS users must install the newer
version of `bison`, by typing `brew install bison` for example.
Note that `brew` does not overwrite the `bison` execution path
automatically, so you need to update your `.bash_profile` as instructed
by `brew`.
The basic idea of this change is from @dearblue.
Note: the arguments of `mrb_str_pool()` have changed, but the function
is provided for internal use (No `MRB_API`). So basically you don't have
to worry about the change.
#### Before this patch:
```console
$ bin/mruby rb -e '_0=:l; p ->{_0}.()'
-e:1:13: _0 is not available
-e:1:13: syntax error, unexpected $end, expecting '}'
```
#### After this patch (same as Ruby):
```console
$ bin/mruby rb -e '_0=:l; p ->{_0}.()'
:l
```
