This commit adds support for variables and identifiers in the function
body of the parser, stored as a vector.
However, at this point, identifier resolution is not fully implemented,
and we currently accept identifiers without checking if they can be
resolved. This is a known limitation that will be addressed in a future
commit once hash-tables are added to the parser.

We decided for using push and pop to simplify the implementation, we
want to revisit the approach latter.

Since we want to extend our code to support multiple kind of expression
it does not make sense that the return statement always return a number.
For now on, return statement has an ast_node_t as argument, meaning that
it could be anything. The literal_node_t was also implemented in order
to keep the application behavior.
Following the C's calling convention the literal values are stored at
%eax and the return takes this argument to do anything it is needed.

Previously, the abstract syntax tree (AST) used static types, meaning
that an ast_function_t would always have a ast_return_stmt_t as
its body. However, this assumption is not always true, as we may have
void functions that do not have a return statement. Additionally, the
ast_return_stmt_t always had a number associated with it, but this too
is not always the case.
To make this possible, I need to perform a few changes in the whole
project. One of the main changes is that there is no longer the
inheritance hack. That mechanism was replaced by composition and
pointers where required for recursive type reference.
It is important to mention that I decided to use union type to implement
the composition. There is two main advantages in this approach:
1. There is only one function to allocate memory for all kind of nodes.
2. There is no need to cast the data.
In summary, this commit introduces changes to support dynamic typing
in the AST, by replacing the inheritance hack with composition and
using union types to simplify memory allocation and type casting.

In the future we want to have the possibility of traverse the tree and
pretty print it or generate binary for other platform like LLVM or
transpile to C.
This solution also implements the gas assembly x86_64 Linux code
generation by using the visitor interface.
