Command-Line argument to print constants [Feature]

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Something like this:

 ./chrimp --values

sizeof(char)      {1}
sizeof(short)     {2}
sizeof(int)       {4}
sizeof(long)      {4}
sizeof(double)    {8}
STACKSIZE         <1048576>
NDEBUG            <0>
NULL              [0]
TRUE              [1]
FALSE             [0]
BIG_ENDIAN        [1]
LITTLE_ENDIAN     [0]
CLOCKS_PER_SEC    [1000000]
ALIGN_SIZE        [4]
...
etc

Where:

{?} are sizeof for intrinsic types
<?> are constant which can be set from environment
[?] are hard-code constants (either literals or calculated at compile time) 

This is useful for regular testing, and very useful for cross-system testing.

Thanks for the suggestion. I've thought about this one. There's a tension 
between the desire to keep picoc as small as possible and the desire to add 
features. I'll add this feature to my forthcoming "deepc" project instead since 
it's targetted at larger systems.
