v0.9

Hawk v0.9 is the first public source release. It includes:

• a tracing JIT compiler for Scheme
• bytecode compiler, VM, runtime, garbage collector, and native emitters
• x86-64 and aarch64 support
• release tarballs with a pregenerated boot image, so Gauche is not needed for normal release builds
