Summary:
Previously, when LLAIR was in SSA form, blocks took parameters just
like functions, and it was sometimes necessary to partially apply a
block to some of the parameters. For example, blocks to which function
calls return would need to accept the return value as an argument, and
sometimes immediately jump to another block passing the rest of the
arguments as well. These "trampoline" blocks were partial applications
of the eventual block to all but the final, return value,
argument.
This partial application mechanism meant that function parameters and
arguments were represented as a stack, with the first argument at the
bottom, that is, in reverse order.
Now that LLAIR is free of SSA, this confusion is no longer needed, and
this diff changes the representation of function formal parameters and
actual arguments to be in the natural order. This also brings Call
instructions in line with Intrinsic instructions, which will make
changing the handling of intrinsics from Calls to Intrinsic less
error-prone.

Summary:
Localizing the entry of a procedure needs the globals (that the
procedure uses), but later creating a summary does not.

Summary:
Distinguish expressions that name globals from registers. This leads
to clearer code, and globals are semantically distinct from general
registers. In particular, they are constant, so any machinery for
handling assignment does not need to consider them. This diff only
adds the distinction to LLAIR, it is not pushed through to FOL, which
will come later.

Summary:
Refer to Llair modules using `Llair.` qualifier, except for in
`Frontend`, which makes so much use of `Llair` that it is now opened
(`Llair` only contains types and modules, so `open` is safe).
