Subject: [PATCH] allow the Compiler.jl stdlib to be installed on older version
 of Julia

Since JuliaLang/julia#56409, Compiler.jl as a standard library has
become available. However, for Julia versions prior to this change, even
though the stdlib can be installed via Pkg.jl, the precompilation fails
due to code compatibility issues. Consequently, when an external package
that uses the Compiler stdlib adds Compiler.jl to its Project.toml, the
package would stop working on older Julia versions.

To address this, this commit adopts the same approach as JET.jl.
Specifically, on older Julia versions, a dummy `Compiler` module is
defined, allowing dependent packages to switch between using the
Compiler.jl stdlib or the previous `Core.Compiler`. While this is a
somewhat hacky solution, it should resolve the issue for now.
