Adds support for both synchronous and asynchronous calls to wrapper functions
using SPS (Simple Packed Serialization). Also adds support for wrapping
functions on the JIT side in SPS-based wrappers that can be called from the
executor.
These new methods simplify calls between the JIT and Executor, and will be used
in upcoming ORC runtime patches to enable communication between ORC and the
runtime.
This is a first step towards consistently using the term 'executor' for the
process that executes JIT'd code. I've opted for 'executor' as the preferred
term over 'target' as target is already heavily overloaded ("the target
machine for the executor" is much clearer than "the target machine for the
target").
