Memory models in C for researching static compiler analysis

Many people overhype the rust borrow checker, i'm going to prove how terrible it is by creating a better memory model.

## Current iteration

It's called `sc` (scope counting), think of it as a relative counter to the lifetime of a variable.

```rust
{
    let x = Box::new(10); // sc = 0

    // sc is 0, drop it
}
```

```rust
let r; // sc = 0

{
    // sc of r = -1 (relative to current scope)

    let x = Box::new(10); // sc = 0

    r = &x; // sc of x = -(sc of r) aka 1

    // sc is 1, don't drop it
}

// sc is 0, drop it
```
