Add support for OSDev #21

If you are able to, try making this programming language be able to be used in OSDev.

Thanks for suggestion!

Can you go into more detail about what features would be needed for Vox to support OS dev? I suppose this mainly involves custom/customizable executable output, inline assembly, etc. Also, it would be a low priority, but would be nice to keep all the needed features in mind.

Here are things you need to add for OSDev:

Inline Assembly (C/C++ syntax)
Block Assembly (NASM syntax)
Cross Compiler (elf, binary, etc..)
Linker

Or you could transpile into assembly code and then compiler using assembly
