* WIP: an optimizer for ARC
* do not optimize away destructors in 'finally' if unstructured control flow is involved
* optimized the optimizer
* minor code cleanup
* first steps to .cursor inference
* cursor inference: big steps to a working solution
* baby steps
* better .cursor inference
* new feature: expandArc for easy inspection of the AST after ARC transformations
* added topt_cursor test
* adapt tests
* cleanups, make tests green
* optimize common traversal patterns
* moved test case
* fixes .cursor inference so that npeg compiles once again
* cursor inference: more bugfixes

* I don't care about observable stores
* enforce explicit initializations
* cleaner code for the stdlib
* stdlib: use explicit initializations
* make tests green
* algorithm.nim: set result explicitly
* remove out parameters and bring the PR into a mergable state
* updated the changelog
* Error -> Defect for defects
The distinction between Error and Defect is subjective,
context-dependent and somewhat arbitrary, so when looking at an
exception, it's hard to guess what it is - this happens often when
looking at a `raises` list _without_ opening the corresponding
definition and digging through layers of inheritance.
With the help of a little consistency in naming, it's at least possible
to start disentangling the two error types and the standard lib can set
a good example here.
* cursors: first implementation
* added currently failing test
* .cursor works for doubly linked lists
* make -d:useMalloc work again
* added code to nil out refs in a destructor
* it's now called --gc:arc
* renderer.nim: render nkBreakState properly
* make simple closure iterators work without leaking
* mark user defined destructors with sfOverriden to simplify the logic
* refactoring in preparation to merge liftings and generic instantiations for destructors
* ast: introduce nkHiddenTryStmt for destructor generation in order to be able to optimize better the code later on
* renamed 'patterns' switch to 'trmacros' as it was totally misleading before
* destructors: introduce tfCheckedForDestructor flag in preparation of strict =destroy checking
* test for invalid/too late destructor introductions
* liftdestructors: make code robust for nimsuggest
* --newruntime works for hello world again
* newruntime: code generation for closures
Fixes#8763: render bug: pure enums not handled correctly
Fixes#8762: render bug: binary operators called with quotes rendered incorrectly
FIxes#8761: render bug: inversion of operator priorities
* late instantiation for the generic procs' default param values
* automatic mixin behaviour in concepts
Other fixes:
* don't render the automatically inserted default params in calls
* better rendering of tyFromExpr
