move to a direct byte code compiler (#8)
* chore: refactor to keep only the new parser and bytecode vm * scanner: remove Token.value field * scanner: remove scanner.kind field * chore: move language specification in lang package This avoid a cyclic dependency in scanner_test which can now use the golang/GoSpec language specification for Go. * clean code * scanner: export scanner fields Also parser now generate function calls, including externals. * chore: fix lint issues * parser: handle strings * wip * parser: implement support for 'if, else, else if' statements Resolving labels in the compiler still in progress. * parser: support if statements, improve compiler * improve handling of functions * improve support of local variables * scanner: trim leading and trailing spaces * fixes to make fibonacci work * parser: improve README, fix function parameters parsing

-# vm0
-
-vm0 is a virtual machine executing directly the syntax tree.
-
-```mermaid
-graph LR
-s[ ] --> |source| a(scanner)
---> |tokens| b(parser)
---> |AST| c(vm)
-subgraph vm0
- c
-end
-style s height:0px;
-```
-
-The execution is performed by walking the AST and evaluating each
-visited node.
-
-
-## Motivation
-
-- have a reference execution model for each defined language
-- usable for compilation time evaluation
-- to modelize similar VMs (i.e. gnovm)
-- to validate and compare with other VMs (once it is itself validated)
-- could serve as a basis for AST based symbolic execution (to be
- investigated)
