This PR adds support for a requested feature: accepting bytes objects to selene_sim.build() that represent the contents of object files - we have support for LLVM bitcode through the same fashion (bytes or the file).

It also performs more validation on bitcode bytes, as the previous approach was simply to check that it was a bytes object with required symbols present. The magic number at the start of a bitcode file is now verified.

Finally, we perform additional build testing. Upon each build test, we run through intermediate artifacts, convert them to their 'in memory' equivalent and build against those too. This is all done in strict build mode, such that the output of every build step is validated against its Kind (more expensive) instead of assuming validity (faster, default).
