```
stage2: rename ir.zig to air.zig

We've settled on the nomenclature for the artifacts the compiler
pipeline produces:

1. Tokens
2. AST (Abstract Syntax Tree)
3. ZIR (Zig Intermediate Representation)
4. AIR (Analyzed Intermediate Representation)
5. Machine Code

Renaming `ir` identifiers to `air` will come with the inevitable
air-memory-layout branch that I plan to start after the 0.8.0 release.

```
