intended to save size (and does on small programs), but on big programs it
actually increases the size of the program slightly. The deal is that many
functions end up using the characters that the string contained, and the
characters are no longer in the global constant table, so they have to be
emitted in function specific constant pools.
This pessimization will be fixed in subsequent patches.

Since this really only makes sense for these two, change hte instance variable
to reflect whether we are writing a bytecode file or not. This makes it
reasonable to add bcwriter specific stuff to it as necessary.

The first change (which is disabled) compactifies all of the function constant
pools into the global constant pool, in an attempt to reduce the amount of
duplication and overhead. Unfortunately, as the comment indicates, this is
not yet a win, so it is disabled.
The second change sorts the typeid's so that those types that can be used
by instructions in the program appear earlier in the table than those that
cannot (such as structures and arrays). This causes the instructions to
be able to use the dense encoding more often, saving about 5K on 254.gap.
This is only a .65% savings though, unfortunately. :(

occurs when the symbol table for a module has been stripped, making all of the
function local symbols go away.
This saves 6728 bytes in the stripped bytecode file of 254.gap (which obviously
has 841 functions), which isn't a ton, but helps and was easy.

each basic block in function. Instead, just emit a stream of instructions,
chopping up basic blocks based on when we find terminator instructions. This
saves a fairly substantial chunk of bytecode space. In stripped, sample
cases, for example, we get this reduction in size:
197.parser: 163036 -> 137180: 18.8% reduction
254.gap : 844936 -> 689392: 22.6%
255.vortex: 621724 -> 528444: 17.7%
...
Not bad for something this simple. :) Note that this doesn't require a new
bytecode version number at all, though version 1.1 should not need to support
the old format.

Rename SlotCalculator::getValSlot() to SlotCalculator::getSlot(),
SlotCalculator::insertValue() to SlotCalculator::getOrCreateSlot(),
SlotCalculator::insertVal() to SlotCalculator::insertValue(), and
SlotCalculator::doInsertVal() to SlotCalculator::doInsertValue().

For now, we translate linkonce into weak linkage in the bytecode format because
we don't have enough bits to represent it. We will rev the bytecode version
soon anyways, so this will be fixed in the near future.

by emitting the type planes before any constants (which could be constant
expressions involving undefined types!)
