d2d5858be1 It is no longer legal to initialize arrays and structs with single
scalar values (that ispc used to smear across the array/struct
elements).  Now, initializers in variable declarations must be
{ }-delimited lists, with one element per struct member or array
element, respectively.

There were a few problems with the previous implementation of the
functionality to initialize from scalars.  First, the expression
would be evaluated once per value initialized, so if it had side-effects,
the wrong thing would happen.  Next, for large multidimensional arrays,
the generated code would be a long series of move instructions, rather
than loops (and this in turn made LLVM take a long time.)

While both of these problems are fixable, it's a non-trivial
amount of re-plumbing for a questionable feature anyway.

Fixes issue #50.
