feature: switch out online heavy for hvcc compiler (pre-emptive) #14

On 31st July, Enzien announced that they would be shutting down :( However, there is a great big silver lining in the fact that they will be making their compiler open source. There are no details available yet but they will give us more info soon, they say. So in fact, this could be great news for Howl if hvcc can be integrated as a dependency somehow!

Ha! I had the email from enzien in my read later stash and havent gotton to it yet... but thanks for the heads up. Ill look into this and get up to par with how to best integrate the new dependency.

I am slowly turning my attention back to howl development as i keep having to switch back and forth between different projects. In the meantime I thought a bit about broadening the focus of howl. So, instead of only using it for the OWL products actually being able to use it as a platform to compile and test DSP patches with and deploying them to a range of different hardware (e.g. organelle, OWL, terminal tedium, bela etc...). Howl could run a webserver to test your patches with and then offer a simple interface to deploy a patch to the device you want afterwards.

Any thoughts on if this would be cool?
