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.

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.
