Bob Nystrom 95626bb136 feat: replace inline C string literals with auto-generated .wren.inc includes
Replace the manually embedded C string constants for builtin Wren modules with
a new build system that automatically generates `.wren.inc` header files from
`.wren` source files. The old `script/generate_builtins.py` is removed and
replaced by `script/wren_to_c_string.py`, which produces standalone include
files with a `PREAMBLE` containing the module name and source path. The Makefile
gains pattern rules to rebuild these `.wren.inc` files whenever the
corresponding `.wren` source changes, and the `builtin` phony target is removed
since the generation is now automatic. The `wren.mk` wildcard lists are updated
to include the new `.wren.inc` files as dependencies. The `timer.c` and
`wren_core.c` source files now `#include` their respective `.wren.inc` headers
instead of defining the string literals inline, and the `timer.wren` trailing
newline is removed.

The Wren scripts in this directory get converted to C string literals into files with a .wren.inc extension. Those are then #included into their respective .c files so that the interpreter can load them directly without having to do any file IO.

The script that does this translation is script/wren_to_c_string.py.

When any of the ".wren" files in here are changed, the Makefile automatically updates the generated C headers.
