Since the next step to pipa programming language is about having control
flow statements we could benefit ourselves by having a block node to
control scope. Now, functions has a block node, instead of an vector as
body. As you can see through the ast-dump:
FunctionDecl name='main'
└─ body:
└─ Block
└─ ReturnStmt
└─ Literal type=i32 value='69'
This same node kind can be used for parsing if, for and while blocks.
I could use ast_block_t as body for functions but instead, I opted to
use an ast_node_t. This brings the flexibility to, in the future, having
another function body kinds, such as arrow functions if we want to:
fn add(a: i32, b: i32): i32 => a + b;

This commit introduces a new type for booleans. There is no code
generation for this type yet. The intention of this commit is to enable
flow control in the near future.

In C, literal integers default to a 32-bit size for arithmetic
operations. Unfortunately, this was causing incorrect values to be
assigned to our uint64_t variables, leading to unexpected behavior.
To resolve this issue, we have updated our code to explicitly set the
literal size using the "ULL" suffix (unsigned long long).
It's important to note that this implementation has a limitation of 64
levels of indentation. Beyond this point, we may encounter a 64-bit
overflow. However, at present, we don't anticipate the need to visualize
trees that exceed this depth. If this requirement arises in the future,
we can explore solutions like dynamically creating new numbers to
accommodate larger tree sizes.
Overall, this change ensures that our code is functioning correctly and
improves the reliability of our codebase.

Parsing can be a complex process, and it's not always easy to get a
clear picture of what's happening with the AST. This commit adds a new
feature to the CLI that allows us to pretty-print the AST (outputs to
stdout), making it easier to visualize the tree structure and understand
how the parser is working.
The new --ast-dump option generates a human-readable representation of
the AST, including node types, values, and child relationships. This
information can be invaluable for debugging and understanding the
parser's behavior.
