Also add Undef value type that can currently only used as the
operand for SetElement to signify that we are creating a new
value instead of modifying an existing value.
A new struct value can be created by starting with Undef and
setting each element sequentially. Each operation produces a
new struct value, but the temporaries will be optimized away
in the later passes (currently by the C compiler, but we could
do something more clever here in the future).
This is needed to support packed arrays, which are represented
as structs. I extracted this from my packed array branch, and
it's currently unused outside tests.
