Mike Gerwitz d42a46d2b8 tamer: NIR->xmli template definition setup
This sets the stage for template parsing, and finally decides how we're
going to represent templates on the ASG.  This is going to start simple,
since my original plans for improving how templates are
handled (conceptually) is going to have to wait.

This is the last difficult object type to figure out, with respect to graph
representation and derivation, so I wanted to get it out of the way.

XMLI System Test

The xmli file is an intermediate file that serves as a handoff between TAMER and the XSLT-based compiler:

xml -> (TAMER) -> xmli -> (TAME XSLT) -> xmlo

TAMER gets the first shot at processing, and then the compilation process continues with the XSLT-based compiler. This allows TAMER to incrementally augment and manipulate the source file and remove responsibilities from TAME XSLT.

Tests in this directory ensure that this process is working as intended. TAMER's failure to perform a proper handoff will cause TAME XSLT to compile sources incorrectly, since TAMER will have rewritten them to something else.

This handoff is more than just echoing tokens back into a file---it derives a new program from the state of the ASG. This program may have a slightly different representation than the original sources, but it must express an equivalent program, and the program must be at least as performant when emitted by TAME XSLT.

Running Tests

Test are prefixed with test-* and are executable. They must be invoked with the environment variable PATH_TAMEC set to the path of tamec relative to the working directory.
