0a246af449 Make Buffer more primitive
Meaning that the FFI is aware of it, so you can send arbitrary byte data
to foreign calls. Fixes #209

This means that we no longer need the hacky way of reading and writing
binary data via scheme, so can have a more general interface for reading
and writing buffer data in files.

It will also enable more interesting high level interfaces to binary
data, with C calls being used where necessary.

Note that the Buffer primitive are unsafe! They always have been, of
course... so perhaps (later) they should have 'unsafe' as part of their
name and better high level safe interfaces on top.

This requires updating the scheme to support Buffer as an FFI primitive,
but shouldn't affect Idris2-boot which loads buffers its own way.

2eb2ce6097 Add Bits primitives
Including appropriate casts, and Num/Eq/Ord/Show implementations.
Also includes new primitives in Data.Buffer, and calls to foreign
functions in C as 'unsigned'.

cff5fc2625 Workaround for byte vectors in Racket
Racket appears to have a different notion of current directory than the
system does, so we need to tell it which directory we think we're in
when reading and writing bytevectors using the scheme file functions.
