Refactors the nm hoister to avoid tree structures

[arcanis]

Note: This is mostly an experiment, I'm not sure I want to really merge it right about now.

What's the problem this PR addresses?

I'm playing with porting the nm hoister, and the tree data structure can make things impractical. I'm also interested into avoiding recursive data structures to make the memory access faster.

How did you fix it?

This diff attempts to "flatten" the tree by turning recursive data structures into a flat array we reference through cell indices. So for example instead of:

interface Node {
  children: Array<Node>;
}

We instead have:

interface Node {
  children: Array<number>;
}

interface Tree {
  nodes: Array<Node>;
  root: number;
}

It makes some things harder, but other things slightly easier.
