Storing defers this way has the benefits that the defer doesn't get
analyzed multiple times in AstGen, it takes up less space, and it
makes Sema aware of defers allowing for 'unreachable else prong'
error on error sets in generic code.
The disadvantage is that it is a bit more complex and errdefers with
payloads now emit a placeholder instruction (but those are rare).

Master branch added `try` to a bunch of testing function calls, and some
lines also had changed how to refer to the native architecture and other
`@import("builtin")` stuff.
