IMCC bug: Sub names are not labels?

[Luke Palmer]

The following doesn't work:

.sub _main
newsub $P0, Sub, _foo
invokecc $P0
end
.end

.sub _foo
# ...
.end

Indeed, it can be done by using C<addr> and C<set>, but shouldn't sub
names be considered global labels, too?

I've fixed it somehow - still calling conventions stuff is missing.
(the register allocator will happily globber the return continuation in
the sub if not written explictely as P1).

This works now:

.sub _main
newsub P0, .Sub, _foo # note the dot
invokecc P0
end
.end

.sub _foo
print "foo\n"
invoke P1
.end

Of course. But newsub and the whole calling convention stuff isn't
finished yet. Meaning the newsub opcode doesn't work yet in PIR code,
global fixup is missing ...
