Instead of resolving all function addresses externally one by one, resolve them all internally within a single function that populates the PPU jumptable which is almost instantaneous. I learned some nice things during the making of this PR, first, it took extremely long amount of time to compile this function when the loop has been unrolled instead looped over arrays, so this made me learn new concepts such as the usage of PHI nodes. This makes the booting of "Skate 3" much smoother for example.
For this purpose, I had the audacity to partially invalidate LLVM cache. (only the last module, which contains the resolver function, is invalidated for each file)
