This ABI is always ccallable, unlike the `:specfunc` ABI which frequently is not. In the future, it would be good to selectively re-enable the `:specfunc` ABI for types that are safely ccallable. The `:specfunc` ABI is interesting to us not just because it's fast. It allows us to frequently avoid allocations for passing arguments / return values, unlike the `:func` ABI which (almost) always allocates.

@gbaraldi please double-check my ccall/ABI-foo here

Here is where we should scan the types and see if there is anything that we cannot correctly translate for specsig.
That might be just checking for Union/UnionAll? I need to stare at codegen for a while before I'm convinced, though.

This ABI is always ccallable, unlike the
:specfuncABI which frequently is not.However, this ABI comes with a trade-off of introducing allocations (almost) always for function entry/exit. For that reason, we should re-enable the
:specfuncABI as soon as we can on as many types as possible.Resolves #70
