diff: more bug fixes for liveness.

Hi,

More bugs in liveness. These were caused by slightly incorrect previous
bugfixes, that interacted in interesting ways...

The good news is that the entire library can now be successfully
compiled to C in .agc grade.

Here's the fix.

===================================================================

Estimated hours taken: 4

Fix several bugs in liveness for accurate GC. 

compiler/liveness.m:
	- Add `liveness__get_nonlocals_and_typeinfos'.
	- Call `liveness__get_nonlocals_and_typeinfos' instead of just
	  getting nonlocals. This removes a lot of repeated code (and
	  improves correctness).
	- Intersect the initially live variables with the non-locals and
	  their typeinfo vars, not just the non-locals.
	- Don't add corresponding typeinfos to the liveness after the
	  intersection (previously we did this, which "fixed" many
	  problems that doing the intersection wrong introduced, but
	  introduced a few bugs of its own).

tests/valid/Mmake:
tests/valid/agc_graph.m:
tests/valid/agc_ho_pred.m:
	Test cases for these bugs.
