Turns out this is super simple once we have the annotated information from `freeVars.ml`, and does not even have to distinguish the various forms for declaration. This fixes #74. All tests go through, so it does not seem to be overly restrictive. It could certainly need more tests and some eyeballs if it is actually sound.
this is of course conservative, but good enough for the code that we have.
When compiling a (recursive) block, we need to do a dependency analysis, to find out which names need to be heap-allocated, which local-allocated and which are simply static functions. The rules are: - functions are static, unless they capture something that is not a static function - everything that is captured before it is defined needs to be heap-allocated, unless it is a static function - everything that is mutable and captures needs to be heap-allocated Immutable things are always pointers or unboxed scalars, and can be put into closures as such.
so beef up freevars.ml to distinguish this.

Building on the extended usage analysis in #84, the compiler is now smarter about what needs to be put on the heap and what not. Main perks:
oddandeveninmutrec.as) are now just static functions with direct callslocalsunless they are captured and mutableI am not actively asking for a review of this, just parking it here until #84 has been reviewed and merged.
