Turns out I've been including some unnecessary files when building apps/mu!

Treeshaken stats before:
  LoC 26258 => 9717
  LoC including common libraries: 29736 => 12719
  binary size: 406K  => 79K

After:
  LoC 26258 => 9717
  LoC including common libraries: 28322 => 12370
  binary size: 406K  => 77K

So our treeshaking isn't perfect. No surprise there..

The treeshaken build also starts to fail without the one-liner change to
mu.subx, which looks like a bug in the treeshaker.

Layers in the 3xx series use all the available syntax sugar for SubX programs.
Functions here can be called from Mu programs if they meet certain criteria:
- There's a signature for them in 400.mu
- Inouts on the stack, outputs in registers
- Valid Mu types everywhere (Mu's type system isn't expressive enough for
everything SubX does in rare situations.)
- No way to for an `addr` to escape a function. No `(... addr ... addr ...)`
inouts, and no `(... addr ...)` outputs.
While functions _can_ be called, not all SubX functions meeting these criteria
_should_ be called. In particular, avoid exporting functions that could be
misused. A classic example is trying to add a `size-of` operator. If you're
doing that you're likely going to rely on programmers to use it correctly. Mu
tries to be idiot-proof. Even if SubX requires greater care, using SubX
primitives from Mu should not.
