compiler: add object layout information to heap allocations

This commit adds object layout information to new heap allocations. It
is not yet used anywhere: the next commit will make use of it.

Object layout information will eventually be used for a (mostly) precise
garbage collector. This is what the data is made for. However, it is
also useful in the interp package which can work better if it knows the
memory layout and thus the approximate LLVM type of heap-allocated
objects.
