Renaming and preparing to remove oracles (#985)
A few references to oracles still remain, but they have been removed as a feature, at least.

# so_compiler
### Module
### so_compiler
The Sophia compiler
### Description
This module provides the interface to the standard Sophia compiler. It
returns the compiled module in a map which can then be loaded.
### Types
``` erlang
contract_string() = string() | binary()
contract_map() = #{bytecode => binary(),
compiler_version => binary(),
contract_souce => string(),
type_info => type_info()}
type_info()
errorstring() = binary()
```
### Exports
#### file(File)
#### file(File, Options) -> CompRet
#### from_string(ContractString, Options) -> CompRet
Types
``` erlang
ContractString = contract_string()
Options = [Option]
CompRet = {ok,ContractMap} | {error,ErrorString}
ContractMap = contract_map()
ErrorString = errorstring()
```
Compile a contract defined in a file or in a string.
The **pp_** options all print to standard output the following:
`pp_sophia_code` - print the input Sophia code.
`pp_ast` - print the AST of the code
`pp_types` - print information about the types
`pp_typed_ast` - print the AST with type information at each node
`pp_assembler` - print the generated assembler code
The option `include_child_contract_symbols` includes the symbols of child contracts functions in the generated fate code. It is turned off by default to avoid making contracts bigger on chain.
#### Options to control which compiler optimizations should run:
By default all optimizations are turned on, to disable an optimization, it should be
explicitly set to false and passed as a compiler option.
List of optimizations:
- optimize_inliner
- optimize_inline_local_functions
- optimize_bind_subexpressions
- optimize_let_floating
- optimize_simplifier
- optimize_drop_unused_lets
- optimize_push_consume
- optimize_one_shot_var
- optimize_write_to_dead_var
- optimize_inline_switch_target
- optimize_swap_push
- optimize_swap_pop
- optimize_swap_write
- optimize_constant_propagation
- optimize_prune_impossible_branches
- optimize_single_successful_branch
- optimize_inline_store
- optimize_float_switch_bod
#### check_call(ContractString, Options) -> CheckRet
Types
```
ContractString = string() | binary()
CheckRet = {ok,string(),{Types,Type | any()},Terms} | {error,Term}
Types = [Type]
Type = term()
```
Check a call in contract through the `__call` function.
#### version() -> {ok, Version} | {error, term()}
Types
``` erlang
Version = binary()
```
Get the current version of the Sophia compiler.
