Add a primitive

WIP set of instructions for doing this. working to refine this down:

  • Add function/definitions to runtime.h and runtime.c

  • Rebuild and install runtime library.

  • Add to prim? section in transforms.sld. Some functions may need to added to the next section in the file, so they are not constant-folded (IE, evaluated at compile time).

  • Add to the c-compile-primitive section in cgen.sld.

  • install modified .sld files

  • cyclone scheme/cyclone/cgen.sld

  • copy modified files to cyclone-bootstrap, including cgen.c

  • install cyclone-bootstrap

  • run 'make clean ; make && make bootstrap' from cyclone repo

  • run 'make clean ; ./install' from bootstrap repo

  • Add primitives to the list in eval.sld
