Various suggestions for changes and improvements.

• Renames SequentialC to C, and MulticoreC to Multicore, in line with Futharks convention. This also simplifies the code in a number of places.
• Unifies the _gen_c functions by using to_feature() instead of having different functions.
• Removes the "None" backend.
• Simplifies the code in a number of places, and handles some clippy warnings.
• Panics and stops the process if the futhark compilation fails, instead of potentially failing silently.
• Adds optimization flags for the different backends in build.rs.
• Begins an implementation of explicit free(), in order to allow handling of Missing deallocation of context object #15. Implementing Drop would require a much more involved rewrite it seems. Being able to explicitly call free() instead might be good enough, and work.

Looks like some good changes.

Regarding this point, I think the free function should be marked unsafe as the caller have to ensure that no methods to it are ever used again else we would run into a use-after-free.

The solution would likely be to remove the inner arc from the type and resolve the issue in that way, though this leads to some degradation of the user experience so maybe the api has to be changed around a bit for it.

Another way would be to save a flag if it has been freed and then panic, if that is done we don't need unsafe.

I used the built-in github "sync fork" functionality, but that turns out to merge the master branch into the fork, so I undid it, and found a way to rebase instead. This is why the history has been messed up a bit.

Thanks for the pr! Will merge it now and touch up some things, then aim to have a pr out by the end of the weekend.
