Adds a flag `--optimize=<mode>` that specifies what to optimize for:
* `--optimize=none` turns off the optimizer as much as possible, but
still respects always_inline.
* `--optimize=debug` aims to be the equivalent of `-Og` / `-O1`, and
provides optimizations that don't affect the ability to debug the
program. This is the default.
* `--optimize=size` optimizes for the size of the produced program, and
aims to be the equivalent of `-Oz`.
* `--optimize=speed` optimizes for the execution time of the produced
program, and aims to be the equivalent of `-O3`.
Following the approach taken by Clang, the optimization level feeds into
both the configuration of the LLVM pass pipeline and the attributes
added to function definitions generated by the frontend.
Optimization is performed in a new phase, `optimize`, which runs between
`lower` and `codegen`.

Adds min-preludes to a few more slowest tests, and adds them to most of
the lowering tests, with a few exceptions that make use of operators.
This take the runtime of file_test down from about 8s to about 7s on my
machine.
We add support for Negate on uints in the min-preludes.
When lowering a specific function whose generic was defined in a
different file, switch to that other file's `FileContext` and lower the
generic there. Also pass the `FileContext` corresponding to the specific
into the `FunctionContext`, and use that `FileContext` for resolving
requests for constants and types from the specific.
