Codegen: LLVM IR, Monomorphization, Codegen Units, Partitioning, Symbol Linkage and Visibility

[michaelwoerister]

Quite a few complicated things are going on during trans. Would be great to have it documented.

• [ ] Generating LLVM IR
  • [ ] Monomorphization
• [ ] Codegen Units
• [ ] Partitioning
• [ ] Symbol Linkage and Visibiliy

To clarify: the four topics in the title are relatively tightly coupled so it makes sense to treat them together.

Definitely agree. Trans is one of the bigger missing chapters (along with type-checking, MIR construction, etc).

cc #6

We added some skeleton chapters and have some other things in progress.
