If both lhs and rhs are static/dynamic arrays, simply compare
the LL types produced by DtoArrayPtr(). If they mach, use full
array assignment, otherwise treat the rhs as compatible element
(e.g., T for T[n], T[n][], T[n][m], or even T[a][b] for
T[a][b][c][] :D).
_d_newarraymT and _d_newarraymiT are now named _d_newarraymTX and
_d_newarraymiTX. There is also a change in the signature: instead
of a variable length argumentlist the functions now require an array
of dimensions.
This should fix test runnable/test28.d
A quick statistic collection revealed that during
druntime/phobos compilation no more then 7 arrays are
concatenated. Pre-allocation of 16 elements should be
good for most cases.
First merge of current development stream. Asm blocks are known to be broken.

This commit fundamentally changes the way symbol emission in
LDC works: Previously, whenever a declaration was used in some
way, the compiler would check whether it actually needs to be
defined in the currently processed module, based only on the
symbol itself. This lack of contextual information proved to
be a major problem in correctly handling emission of templates
(see e.g. #454).
Now, the DtoResolve…() family of functions and similar only
ever declare the symbols, and definition is handled by doing
a single pass over Module::members for the root module. This
is the same strategy that DMD uses as well, which should
also reduce the maintainance burden down the road (which is
important as during the last few releases, there was pretty
much always a symbol emission related problem slowing us
down).
Our old approach might have been a bit better tuned w.r.t.
avoiding emission of unneeded template instances, but 2.064
will bring improvements here (DMD: FuncDeclaration::toObjFile).
Barring such issues, the change shoud also marginally improve
compile times because of declarations no longer being emitted
when they are not needed.
In the future, we should also consider refactoring the code
so that it no longer directly accesses Dsymbol::ir but uses
wrapper functions that ensure that the appropriate
DtoResolve…() function has been called.
GitHub: Fixes#454.
Turns out that Expression::isConst() actually is much too
pessemistic as it e.g. never regards struct literals as
const.
We should get this fixed to avoid unnecessary heap
allocations for array initialization.
This is just to improve clarity, as it was rather non-obvious
what of the code also applied to classes before.
IrTypeAggr::createInitializerConstant would currently belong in
IrTypeStruct, but this will be refactored anyway.
