Bootstrapping failed on windows because of CRLF #22

Description

@ThakeeNathees

I was trying to compile paka on windows with mingw and it failed with a message unknown ident: i (bellow is the full log). On windows git automatically replace LFs to CRLFs, and further investigating I found out that minivm read files in binary mode, but \r\n will only be read as \n in text mode.

mkdir -p bin
make -C minivm minivm
make[1]: Entering directory '/c/dev/repo/paka/minivm'
cc -Os vm/minivm.c -o minivm
make[1]: Leaving directory '/c/dev/repo/paka/minivm'
cp minivm/minivm bin/minivm
bin/minivm bins/boot.bc src/main.paka -o bin/stage1.bc
unknown ident: i
bin/minivm bin/stage1.bc src/main.paka -o bin/stage2.bc
cannot run vm: file to run could not be read
bin/minivm bin/stage2.bc src/main.paka -o bin/stage3.bc
cannot run vm: file to run could not be read

After changing the line ending of src/main.paka it worked just fine

mkdir -p bin
make -C minivm minivm
make[1]: Entering directory '/c/dev/repo/paka/minivm'
cc -Os vm/minivm.c -o minivm
make[1]: Leaving directory '/c/dev/repo/paka/minivm'
cp minivm/minivm bin/minivm
bin/minivm bins/boot.bc src/main.paka -o bin/stage1.bc
bin/minivm bin/stage1.bc src/main.paka -o bin/stage2.bc
bin/minivm bin/stage2.bc src/main.paka -o bin/stage3.bc
