valaccompiler.vala: Check for MSVC-like compiler

If we are using an enviroment where it is set up to be like a Visual Studio
cmd.exe prompt, and if CC is not set, we assume that we are using Visual Studio

Thus, we need to call pkg-config with the --msvc-syntax flag. This also apples
if we choose to use clang-cl, so that we can use the correct C compiler/linker
flags when we compile the generated C-code.

build: Add a set of NMake Makefiles

This adds a set of NMake Makefiles that is able to:

* Compile Vala from the generated C sources in a release tarball
* Compile Vala with an existing Vala build/installation from the
  original Vala sources.

What is not done currently:
* Generating sources in gobject-introspection/ using Bison/Flex.
* Re-generating the *.vapi files in vapi/ using existing .gir
  files.
* Running the tests
* Building vapidocs
* Preparing for the build directly from a GIT checkout.

This is done in a modular fashion so that one may specify the
INCLUDEDIR and LIBDIR if the include and library paths for GLib
are not in the compiler's default paths.

This NMake Makefile set supports Visual Studio 2008 and later-
please note that I did not (and am not intending to) update the
.vala/*.c/*.h files to make the support work.

Author Date: 2019-03-07 19:32:22 UTC

Added support for direct generics

Direct generics are a rare phenomenon, the only notable example in GLib
is GArray. Direct generics are handled using macros/sizeof and passed
around by pointers (not in pointers), so they need not fit in a pointer.
Thus, values like double, int64 or even funny structure types can be
stored in GArray (unlike GPtrArray or GHashTable).

This commit implements a complete support of direct generics. Also, the
GLib VAPI is adjusted for direct generics.

Direct generics are triggered by a new parameter to CCode. They are only
supposed to be used in VAPI files, using them in normal source files is
undefined. If your type is something else than a GArray, reconsider the matter
twice before enabling direct generics.
