This is a big reimplementation that simplifies the compiler a lot.
Instead of storing the method set in metadata and lowering the type
asserts as a whole program pass, this change just puts the list of
methods in the type code (and a separate global for the interface type).
This allows for adding more advanced tests, for example tests that use
the compiler package so that test sources can be written in Go instead
of LLVM IR.
This commit adds a new transform that converts reflect Implements()
calls to runtime.interfaceImplements. At the moment, the Implements()
method is not yet implemented (how ironic) but if the value passed to
Implements is known at compile time the method call can be optimized to
runtime.interfaceImplements to make it a regular interface assert.
This commit is the last change necessary to add basic support for the
encoding/json package. The json package is certainly not yet fully
supported, but some trivial objects can be converted to JSON.
