This patch changes the interface for evaluating expressions, in order
to allow for thread-safe expression evaluations and easier
codegen. Thread safety is achieved via the ExprContext class, a
light-weight container for expression tree evaluation state. Codegen
is easier because more expressions can be cross-compiled to IR.
See expr.h and expr-context.h for an overview of the API
changes. See sort-exec-exprs.cc for a simple example of the new
interface and hdfs-scanner.cc for a more complicated example.
This patch has not been completely code reviewed and may need further
cleanup/stylistic work, as well as additional perf work.
