Max Wash e7f6d54fa2 mie: add value type hierarchy definitions
every construct within Mie, such as constants, instructions, functions, and translation units, are sub-types of the generic mie_value struct.

mie_value will facilitate iterating through the IR, as well as converting the IR to/from different formats.

METACOMPUTE INSTRUCTION ENGINE
==============================

Mie is an abstract virtual machine and intermediate representation manipulation
toolkit. It includes facilities for building, manipulating, and optimising
intermediate representations of programs, as well as converting IR to/from
different formats.

The Mie virtual machine features an infinite amount of memory and registers.
A Mie program can be emitted by a simple front-end compiler that makes use of
these infinite resources, and Mie's optimisers will convert this program into a
form that can efficiently use and re-use a more finite set of resources.
Finally, a Mie backend can convert the program into a concrete implementation
for a particular system.
