Subject: [PATCH v2 1/6] compiler.h: Introduce helpers for identifying array and pointer types

Introduce is_array_type() and is_pointer_type() helpers, which compare the
data type of provided argument against the enumeration values defined in
typeclass.h using __builtin_classify_type() function and identify array
and pointer types respectively.
