Title: wip: support llvm Interpreter (no-JIT)

out of idle curiosity (and you know what that did to the cat...), I decided to switch on the LLVM Interpreter and see how it fared (over the JIT/MCJIT).

i have managed to get close to a REPL prompt. however, i need to do a bit more work (and expose the ExecutionContext struct from llvm) to make this aware of `yield()` and `backtrace()`

in the future, this could perhaps even be used as a hybrid with MCJIT, intermediate between interpreting julia codes and running machine codes.
