This adds a new context field that rewrites generic calls like
apply_generic(f, (args...,))
toapply_generic(context, (f, args...))
during codegen. The intention here is to allow external AbstractInterpreters
to provide custom implementations of apply_generic (usually recursing
analysis using the same interpreter, but other behavior may be
desired). This is a bit of a stopgap solution. I think in the fullness
of time, we'll probably want completely custom codegen for generic
callsites, to avoid the potential of a double-dispatch impact, but
for the moment this allows prototyping.
