34b50efdcd interp: support GEP on fixed (MMIO) addresses
GetElementPtr would not work on values that weren't pointers. Because
fixed addresses (often used in memory-mapped I/O) are integers rather
than pointers in interp, it would return an error.

This resulted in the teensy40 target not compiling correctly since the
interp package rewrite. This commit should fix that.

30df912565 interp: rewrite entire package
For a full explanation, see interp/README.md. In short, this rewrite is
a redesign of the partial evaluator which improves it over the previous
partial evaluator. The main functional difference is that when
interpreting a function, the interpretation can be rolled back when an
unsupported instruction is encountered (for example, an actual unknown
instruction or a branch on a value that's only known at runtime). This
also means that it is no longer necessary to scan functions to see
whether they can be interpreted: instead, this package now just tries to
interpret it and reverts when it can't go further.

This new design has several benefits:

  * Most errors coming from the interp package are avoided, as it can
    simply skip the code it can't handle. This has long been an issue.
  * The memory model has been improved, which means some packages now
    pass all tests that previously didn't pass them.
  * Because of a better design, it is in fact a bit faster than the
    previous version.

This means the following packages now pass tests with `tinygo test`:

  * hash/adler32: previously it would hang in an infinite loop
  * math/cmplx: previously it resulted in errors

This also means that the math/big package can be imported. It would
previously fail with a "interp: branch on a non-constant" error.
