New features and changes in the syntax of NewLang

• Reworked the definition of object types using prefix naming (sigils)
• Interrupting the execution flow and returning can now be done for named code blocks.
• Simplified the syntax for importing native variables and functions (C/C++)
• Stabilized the syntax for initializing tensor, dictionary, and function argument values with initial data.
• Added built-in macros for writing code using keywords in a DSL style

New compiler features (nlc)

• Completely redesigned the macroprocessor.
• Reworked the compiler architecture with division into parser, macroprocessor, syntax analyzer, interpreter, and code generator.

Miscellaneous

• The documentation website has been translated to Hugo and made bilingual.
• Instead of binary builds, a section Playground and example code has been added to the website for small experiments.
• Transition to clang-16 has been completed (transition to clang-17 and newer is planned after full implementation of coroutines and support for extended floating-point number formats).
