0.4.0 release of Janet!

This release marks a big update with lots of changes to Janet, as you can see in the changelog! The most interesting are probably the addition of typed arrays and the ability to compile Janet to cross platform image files, which contain precompiled bytecode. Lots of bug fixes and smaller additions to the language, as well as the ability to create an amalgamated build for Janet. Attached are the two files janet.h and janet.c, which can be dropped into many projects to extend them with Janet scripting.

Janet should also start faster now, as the core library is precompiled to bytecode instead of being parsed and compile on startup.

The latest version of Janet is also a bit larger than previous version, and will now weigh in at around 300-400kB, depending on architecture, flags and OS. This footprint can be made smaller by disabling certain modules, like the peg module, typed array module, and assembler module.
