Adds a library (c2cilk) to the handcomp_tests such that it is easier to write "handcompiled" cilk code.
Certain features are written to make it a bit more annoying to use than otherwise could be achieved specifically because
we don't currently intend for this to be used outside of internal testing/benchmarking.

For internal benchmarking of opencilk, c2cilk makes it easier to write/port benchmarks to a handcompiled version such that we can test performance of cheetah in isolation of changes to the OpenCilk compiler. When compiled with -fopencilk, however, c2cilk will use the cilk_spawn, cilk_sync, etc., keywords, such that we can run roughly the same tests/benchmarks using the OpenCilk compiler.

I've tested the current handcomp_tests benchmarks on an x86_64 machine without avx, and there is no change in performance between the old handcompiled code and the handcompiled code using c2cilk.

ABI changes require updates to this helper library (if we even want this still).
