prog, pkg/compiler: add `BufferCompressed` buffer type & `compressed_image` builtin
Create the `BufferCompressed` kind of `BufferType`, which will be used to represent compressed data. Create the corresponding `compressed_image` syzlang builtin, which is backed by `BufferCompressed`. For now, no syscalls use this feature - this will be introduced in future commits. We have to be careful to decompress the data before mutating, and re-compress before storing. We make sure that any deserialised `BufferCompressed` data is valid too. `BufferCompressed` arguments are mutated using a generic heatmap. In future, we could add variants of `BufferCompressed` or populate the `BufferType` sub-kind, using it to choose different kinds of heatmap for different uncompressed data formats. Various operations on compressed data must be forbidden, so we check for `BufferCompressed` in key places. We also have to ensure `compressed_image` can only be used in syscalls that are marked `no_{generate,minimize}`. Therefore, we add a generic compiler check which allows type descriptions to require attributes on the syscalls which use them.
