    Add expression compilation support to LLVM JIT provider. · 2a0faed9

    In addition to the interpretation of expressions (which back
    evaluation of WHERE clauses, target list projection, aggregates
    transition values etc) support compiling expressions to native code,
    using the infrastructure added in earlier commits.
    
    To avoid duplicating a lot of code, only support emitting code for
    cases that are likely to be performance critical. For expression steps
    that aren't deemed that, use the existing interpreter.
    
    The generated code isn't great - some architectural changes are
    required to address that. But this already yields a significant
    speedup for some analytics queries, particularly with WHERE clauses
    filtering a lot, or computing multiple aggregates.

    Disable JITing for VALUES() nodes.
    
    VALUES() nodes are only ever executed once. This is primarily helpful
    for debugging, when forcing JITing even for cheap queries.
