b93042fd27 lisp: INT -> SMI
when we implement big integer support, we should use INT there
instead.  SMI signals intent much better.

a50ca72b24 lisp: 63 bit -> 56 bit SMI
This massively simplifies the tagging implementation as all types now
have a 1 byte tag.  However, this does make the need for Big Integers
much greater as we've lost 8 bits of precision.

9940651ac0 alloc: arena_t -> alloc_t
arena_t doesn't really make sense given we also have a free list.
Better to name it generic.

0e75b541df vec: vec_try_append
Essentially a method to attempt to append data but without doing any
reallocation - stay within the bounds of the capacity.

a79f60a203 lisp: split lisp into lisp and sys
Generic definition of tagged pointers, along with simple
constructor/destructors should be in lisp.h for use by other headers.

sys.h on the other hand contains all the general system methods.

c1cdb8607d lisp: split memory into conses and vectors
During garbage collection, we'll iterate through these two vectors.
Instead of freeing the memory, we can swap cells in the vector and
decrement its size.

The idea is we can attach an allocator to the system where we reuse
memory instead of just allocating everytime.

2dc0c6080e reader: deal with quotes
This is currently implemented as a parse-time primitive.  Scheme
doesn't seem to have reader macros (which is INSANE) but Common Lisp
does.  We'll need to add a TODO about this.

9f3bb57972 sv: major refactor
- Internal data pointer is read only by default => any uses that
  require use of the pointer itself (freeing, mutating) must perform a
  cast.

- refactor tests to use some new sv macros and functions, and clean
  them up.

- slight cleanup of sv.c
