Add a new "dumpn" pseudo-opcode that dumps N copies of the same value
to the stage buffer. It's basically the same as "dump" but much faster
when dumping the same value a lot of times, for example, when writing
initial values for large arrays.
On my Linux system the time it took to dump a 100000000 cell array went
down from 20 to 8 seconds in Release configuration, i.e. 2.5 times faster!
I haven't profiled further yet (Visual Studio 2017 profiler is broken,
gprof won't output anything (I'm probably doing it wrong), I might try
valgrind later).
This fixes a bug where returning a string from a variadic function caused
an invalid memory access error during runtime. It seems like they forgot
to update existing string return code for variadic functions.

--------- test code --------
native print(const s[]);
stock f(...)
{
new a, b, c;
new str[] = "hello";
return str;
}
main() {
print(f(1, 2, 3));
}
----- end of test code -----
This fixes a bug where the compiler generated incorrect addresses for
functions in #emit code if they were defined after the point of use.
For example, you couldn't reliably get the address of a function with
"#emit CONST.pri XXX" unless you make sure that XXX is defined before
the function in which you have you are referencing it.
Now the resolution of the function's address is deferred until assembling
phase (as with CALL), and the assembler is guaranteed to see all symbols
with their final addresses. To distinguish between functions and numeric
operands I added a '.' (period) in front of function names for both #emit
and normal calls.
