The mixed `number | bigint` representation was useful optimization for
pointers. Now, pointers are represented as V8 externals. As part of the
FFI stabilization effort we want to make `bigint` the only
representation for `u64` and `i64`.
BigInt representation performance is almost on par with mixed
representation with the added benefit that its less confusing and users
don't need manual checks and conversions for doing operations on the
value.

Before submitting a PR, please read https://deno.com/manual/contributing
1. Give the PR a descriptive title.
Examples of good title:
- fix(std/http): Fix race condition in server
- docs(console): Update docstrings
- feat(doc): Handle nested reexports
Examples of bad title:
- fix #7123
- update docs
- fix bugs
2. Ensure there is a related issue and it is referenced in the PR text.
3. Ensure there are tests that cover the changes.
4. Ensure `cargo test` passes.
5. Ensure `./tools/format.js` passes without changing files.
6. Ensure `./tools/lint.js` passes.
7. Open as a draft PR if your work is still in progress. The CI won't
run
all steps, but you can add '[ci]' to a commit message to force it to.
8. If you would like to run the benchmarks on the CI, add the 'ci-bench'
label.

Adds support for passing and returning structs as buffers to FFI. This does not implement fastapi support for structs. Needed for certain system APIs such as AppKit on macOS.
- [x] `dlfcn.rs` - `dlopen()`-related code.
- [x] `turbocall.rs` - Call trampoline JIT compiler.
- [x] `repr.rs` - Pointer representation. Home of the UnsafePointerView
ops.
- [x] `symbol.rs` - Function symbol related code.
- [x] `callback.rs` - Home of `Deno.UnsafeCallback` ops.
- [x] `ir.rs` - Intermediate representation for values. Home of the
`NativeValue` type.
- [x] `call.rs` - Generic call ops. Home to everything related to
calling FFI symbols.
- [x] `static.rs` - static symbol support
I find easier to work with this setup, I eventually want to expand
TurboCall to unroll type conversion loop in generic calls, generate code
for individual symbols (lazy function pointers), etc.
