astgen: implement ZIR generation for basic expressions and declarations

Mechanical translation of AstGen.zig into C. Implements:
- Container members: comptime, simple_var_decl, test_decl, fn_decl
- Expressions: number_literal, string_literal, identifier (with
  primitive types, integer types, and decl_val/decl_ref resolution),
  field_access (field_val/field_ptr), address_of, builtin_call
  (@import), array_type, array_init (with inferred [_] length),
  array_cat (++), ptr_type
- Statement types: assign with _ = expr discard pattern
- Test infrastructure: testDecl, addFunc, fullBodyExpr,
  blockExprStmts, emitDbgNode/emitDbgStmt, rvalueDiscard
- Support: GenZir sub-block instruction tracking, result location
  propagation (RL_NONE/RL_REF/RL_DISCARD), string dedup, import
  tracking, namespace decl table, lastToken, firstToken

1/5 corpus files pass (test_all.zig). Remaining 4 skip gracefully
via has_compile_errors when encountering unimplemented features.

 - **Never ever** remove zig-cache, nether local nor global.
 - Zig code is in ~/code/zig, don't look at /nix/...
+- when translating functions from Zig to C (mechanically, remember?), add them
+  in the same order as in the original Zig file.
+- debug printfs: add printfs only when debugging a specific issue; when done
+  debugging, remove them (or comment them if you may find them useful later). I
+  prefer committing code only when `zig build` returns no output.
 - remember: **mechanical copy** when porting existing stuff, no new creativity.
