Heap allocation #3

Description

@RealKC

Currently reqvm programs cannot allocate programs on the heap. This should be rectified.

Models that I will likely add:

  • C-like manual memory allocation and deallocation
  • a GC (or more)

Design questions:

  • do we want manual memory allocation to be mutually exclusive with the GC?
  • should there be a way to force one model over the other anyway if the answer to the above is "no"?
  • how do we treat pointers?
  • should our instruction set be expanded to allow instructions to work directly on pointers?
