This commit makes variable assignment parser to allocate memory for the
node. It also moves the node initialization to the ast.c to follow our
standard for node initialization.

Since it is possible to look a future token without consuming it, it was
possible to split the block parser into small chunks of code.
There is the performance drawback, because now the parser makes multiple
lookups to the same token. However IMO that it is not a big concern
given the small computation required to get a token. Also it can be
easily addressed by computing all token in advance.
Memory Leak:
During the refactor I found some extra memory leaks related to not
released scopes. So then, more than just printing a message I introduced
an assert on scope.c to make sure developers will get this feedback asap
because our testing framework suppress messages from stderr when the
test passes.

Previously, during block declaration, the parser consumed the token
which caused some parsers (such as return and variable declaration) to
not be self-contained and to depend on the callee to start the parser.
In this commit, I've refactored the parser to only look for future
tokens using lookahead, and delegate the consumption to child parser
functions. This results in a more modular and self-contained parser that
improves the overall maintainability and readability of the code.

During the refactoring process, I identified a memory leak where the
return argument was allocated but not freed in case of an error.
It also introduces the concept of keyword tokens. Where return is now a
keyword simplifying the parser.

In many situations, the parser is responsible for reserving memory for
nodes, particularly during function body parsing. This commit introduces
a new standard where parser functions not only allocate memory for
ast_nodes, but also return them. In case of a parser error, a NULL
pointer is returned.
This standard will be extended to other parsers in future commits,
ensuring consistency throughout the codebase.

This commit introduces variable assignment making it possible to
change a variable value. Example:
myvar: i32 = 1;
myvar = 2;

This patch adds the variable compilation and uses a scope (a stack of
map) to lookup for identities.
Today we use a vector + ref_entry structs in order to achieve the scope
implementation. The ref_entry lacks memory management, we are still no
sure who will be the owner of the pointer.
We also want to replace the scope a hashtable_t type as soon as we get
one.

We are parsing variables/functions and checking if they are defined on
scope. Otherwise we fail the parsing with a nice message.

The AST was using a string view to distinguish the operation kind. An
enum was created for this purpose simplifying code generation.

The +, -, *, and / tokens used to be TOKEN_OP, but the TOKEN_OP has been
removed and a token for each operation has been introduced. Python's
token names were followed: https://docs.python.org/3/library/token.html

We want to keep the code style consistent, this first commit adds a
.clang-format in order to "document" our style code.
This patch also adds a target *linter* to Makefile which will complain
if we have any style issue on test and src dirs.
I have run the follow command to create the .clang-format file:
$ clang-format -style=mozilla -dump-config > .clang-format
And I also made some adjusts to .clang-format changing the following
properties:
PointerAlignment: Right
ColumnLimit: 120
Commands executed to fix the current styling:
$ find . -name *.h | xargs clang-format -i
$ find . -name *.c | xargs clang-format -i

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.

This patch implements the AST creation for arithmetic expressions.
NOTE:
The implementation works only for integer numbers.

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, when an error occurred during parsing, the application
would exit, making it difficult to test the parser and limiting the
compiler's extensibility. This commit improves the parser's error
handling by allowing for continued execution after an error, enabling
easier testing and increased flexibility.
The parser is prepared to handle multiples errors, although the
current implementation always returns a single error, it may be
useful given multiples functions where we can show errors by context.

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

In order to find out where a parsing error occurred, this patch

This is a very limited parser implementation which parses a single
function with return type i32 and body containing a return number statement.
The parser doesn't show the 'filepath:row:col' when it fails, a future
improvement would be display it to easy find where the compilation
problem is located.
The ast_nodes are taking the token.value ownership (which is a really
bad design since not all token.value ownership has been taken causing
memory leaking) but we never free them. For a future fix we could use a
string_view instead since we never change the original source code. The
string_view will also improve the performance a lot avoiding unnecessary
heap memory allocation.
