The catch handler table is combined with iseq block.
This is to prevent the structure from growing by adding a field for the
catch handler table to the `mrb_irep` structure.
"iseq block" and "catch handler table":
[number of catch handler table (2 bytes)]
[number of byte code (4 bytes)]
[iseq (any bytes)]
[catch handlers (multiple of 7 bytes)]
catch handler:
[catch type (1 byte)]
[begin offset (2 bytes)]
[end offset (2 bytes)]
[target offset (2 bytes)]
catch type: enum mrb_catch_type (0 = rescue, 1 = ensure)
begin offset: Includes the specified instruction address
end offset: Does not include the specified instruction address
target offset: replaces pc with the specified instruction address
This table is not expanded by `read_irep_record_1()`.
The necessary elements are expanded one by one when used.
Introduced `MRB_NO_METHOD_CACHE` which is inverse of `MRB_METHOD_CACHE`
that should be enabled intestinally. In addition, the default cache is
made bigger (128 -> 256).
Type `mrbc -S -B<init> -o<outfile> <rbfiles...>` to generate the C
source code that holds compiled `mrb_irep`.
Appending the following code to the bottom of the generated code,
`mruby` executes the compiled code:
```C
int
main()
{
mrb_state *mrb = mrb_open();
struct RProc *p = mrb_proc_new(mrb, &init_irep);
mrb_vm_run(mrb, p, mrb_top_self(mrb), 0);
mrb_close(mrb);
return 0;
}
```
Eventually static compile should use this representation, instead
of `uint8_t` array that holds `mrb` data, so that we can skip
interpreting `mrb` data.
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
- `mrb_convert_type`
- `mrb_check_convert_type`
Those function no longer take `tname` string representation of desired
type, and take method symbols instead of `const char*` names. This is
incompatible change. I hope no third-party gems use those functions.
Where `QSYM` means quoted symbols, which cannot be represented C
symbols, so specify aliases instead.
- operators: name of the operation, e.g. add for `+`
- predicates: add `_p` suffix instead of `?`
- bang methods: add `_b` suffix instead of `!`
- instance variables: add `a_` prefix instead of `@`
- global variables: add `d_` prefix instead of `@`
- class variables: unsupported; don't use them
- The `s` specifier is a string pointer obtained without performing `mrb_str_modify()`, so it cannot be changed.
- The `z` specifier cannot be changed because it is a string pointer obtained by `RSTRING_CSTR()` which returns `const char *`.
Adding MRB_MINGW32_LEGACY in common.h in order to identify the legacy MinGW environment (i.e. NOT to be confused with MinGW-w64).

* `_Static_assert` can also be used with `-std=gnu99` on GCC >= 4.6.
* `static_assert` can be used on MSVC.
* `static_assert` can be used even on old G++/Clang++ if
`__GXX_EXPERIMENTAL_CXX0X__` is defined.
