```
translate-c: Handle underscore when used as an identifier

Use `@` syntax to escape `_` when used as an identifier.

Remove the stage1 astgen prohibition against assigning from `_`

Note: there a few stage1 bugs preventing `_` from being used as an identifier
for a local variable or function parameter; these will be fixed by stage2.
They are unlikely to arise in real C code since identifiers starting with
underscore are reserved for the implementation.

```
