This PR uses the infrastructure introduced previously in #32 to implement bytecode-level inlining in the same style as in TruffleSOM and PySOM.
One improvement here is that we remove blocks from the literals, too, which leads in the tests to use more use of the specialized bytecodes.
Generally, the new introduced bytecodes for jumps have all the same length, and exist in two variants, one that only uses one byte, i.e., shorted jumps, and the other that uses both.
This also introduces keeping track of the last 4 bytecodes, which is useful for other optimizations later on, too.
