[WIP] Compilation Model for TryDotNet

[TIHan]

This is based on the compilation prototype. It will have enough functionality to support TryDotNet scenarios at a minimum; will require investigation. Temporarily targeting branch release/dev16.3 until it merges with master.

Current Goals

• Immutable compilation object
  • Diagnostics
  • Parsing and type-checking
  • Limited semantic model
  • Code clean-up
• In-memory compilation from front-to-back (source files -> dll/exe)
  • PE and PDB files
• Script compilations
  • Roslyn script investigation
  • Entry point execution to get return value
  • State management

Regarding script compilations, we want to be similar to Roslyn; we stop using System.Reflection.Emit as the output for interactive scenarios. Instead, we would use a script compilation, emit the assembly in-memory, then load it dynamically.

@TIHan , hey mate, is this still something you intend to work on? I am trying to figure out which of our existing PRs are progressing?

Thanks
