New function call/return helper opcodes #857

$is being the basis of jumps is something we should get rid of. I'd like to introduce two new opcodes:

JMPA $reg imm : jump to absolute address in register plus immediate
SRAJ $reta reg/imm store return address and jump to "function"

It sounds like this would optimize a lot of places where the compiler adds 3 opcodes, and this would replace those spots with 1. It would be a nice improvement to bytecode size.
