feat(codegen): convert implicitly between CHAR and STRING
A CHAR becomes a one-character STRING in &, comparisons, assignment,
parameter passing and RETURN. A STRING becomes a CHAR in assignment,
parameter passing and RETURN, with a runtime error when its length is
not 1. CHAR with INTEGER or BOOLEAN still does not convert.
