10f149f359 Add "def" syntax sugar for named function definitions.
This is technically redundant but it makes functional/procedural code
look a *lot* more natural.

c3e2f17758 Allow infix () and {} to call "call" on the left-hand side.
- Allow this for both argument lists and block arguments.

- Tweak precedence to make "." higher than infix "{}" to avoid a
  class body being parsed as the superclass clause's block argument.

- Convert all uses of ".call" to use this. (There was not a single
  case in the repo that ran into the getter ambiguity.)

78655c68b0 Simple string interpolation.
This allows "%(...)" inside a string literal to interpolate the
stringified result of an expression.

It doesn't support custom interpolators or format strings, but we can
consider extending that later.

812bc15380 Get rid of the special "call" primitive result type.
Instead, Fn.call(...) is a special *method* type that has the same
special sauce. The goal is eventually to get rid of the primitive
result type entirely.

58e4d26648 "IO" -> "System".
Get rid of the separate opt-in IO class and replace it with a core
System class.

- Remove wren_io.c, wren_io.h, and io.wren.
- Remove the flags that disable it.
- Remove the overloads for print() with different arity. (It was an
  experiment, but I don't think it's that useful.)
- Remove IO.read(). That will reappear using libuv in the CLI at some
  point.
- Remove IO.time. Doesn't seem to have been used.
- Update all of the tests, docs, etc.

I'm sorry for all the breakage this causes, but I think "System" is a
better name for this class (it makes it natural to add things like
"System.gc()") and frees up "IO" for referring to the CLI's IO module.

5fb6186d7d Make constructors just methods.
* Eliminate "new" reserved word.
* Allow "this" before a method definition to define a constructor.
* Only create a default constructor for classes that don't define one.

64eccdd9be Reorganize tests and benchmark scripts.
Mainly to get rid of one top level directory. But this will
also be useful when there are tests of the embedding API.
