This PR adds a new feature to the backend's binding API that allows for function symbols to be evaluated on a set of AST pattern arguments, with the result returned as a pattern also. This is motivated by the proof generation project; the execution trace format generated by the backend to summarise a concrete execution can contain the labels and arguments for function call events, but not the functions' return values without breaking tail-call optimisation.

Most of the prerequisite work for this PR was done in #908 and #911; the actual changes here are quite small:

  • Adds a sort-aware term-to-pattern reification method that uses the new rawTerm{} wrapper.
  • Marshals arguments and returns between pattern and term level in the core bindings API.
  • Adds a test case demonstrating a few simple cases for this feature; as ever the bulk of the testing ought to be performed in Pyk.

Part of: #905

In #905, we are implementing a Python binding for the backend's function
evaluator: given a function label and list of argument `Pattern`s,
construct runtime terms for the arguments, evaluate the function with
the given label, and return the result as an AST pattern.

To safely reify the runtime term produced by the function call to an AST
pattern, we need to know its sort (so that the machinery in #907, #908
can be used correctly). In some places in the bindings, we have to
require that callers provide a sort when reifying terms back to
patterns. However, when calling a function, the label of the function
determines precisely the correct sort to use.

This PR emits a new table of global data into compiled interpreters that
maps tags to declared return sorts, along with a function that abstracts
away indexing into this table. This change is similar to (but simpler
than) an existing table of _argument sorts_ for each symbol that we
already emit.

Testing is handled by binding the new function to Python.

~~Blocked on
#907

This PR follows up #907 by having the Python bindings strip patterns of
the form `rawTerm{}(inj{...}(...)})` when deserializing from binary
KORE; this will allow Pyk and subsequently the proof checker's parser to
soundly load function arguments from proof traces and pass them to the
function evaluator in #905.

The C++ code looks good to me!
