Separate compilation and linker phases (#376)

Separate between compilation and linker phases to allow deploy time
linking and back-porting era compiler changes to fix #91. Unlinked
contract binaries (caused by missing libraries or missing factory
dependencies in turn) are emitted as raw ELF object.

Few drive by fixes:
- #98
- A compiler panic on missing libraries definitions.
- Fixes some incosistent type forwarding in JSON output (empty string
vs. null object).
- Remove the unused fallback for size optimization setting.
- Remove the broken `--lvm-ir`  mode.
- CI workflow fixes.
