dev: introduce dev environments that enable compiler feature sets
This allows specifying a development environment for reducing compile times while building the compiler, each targeted at developing a specific part of the compiler. The legacy options build_options.only_c
and build_options.only_core_functionality
have been replaced with the new system. This system allows easily specifying new optional features and new environments independently.
