Start working on L2

This changes the compilation process to keep track of register types, which
we'll need to distinguish between local/permanent variables.  It also makes
things a bit more obvious/safe when compiling argument registers because they're
tagged explicitly.

This also changes up the actual running of the code by actually using
CALL/PROCEED, though it's not fully fleshed out yet.
