Enable writing module code directly to file

[asvarga-sedaro]

Summary

Enables generating code directly into files:

with open('code.py', 'w') as f:
    module.write_code(f)

rather than

code = module.code
with open('code.py', 'w') as f:
    f.write(code)

It does this with a subclass of CodegenState that avoids building in memory:

• the tokens: List[str] field of CodegenState
• the "".join(state.tokens) string of code

Test Plan

• hatch run test passes
• we could add some tests that compare the contents of written files written directly vs indirectly

Notes

• CodegenState.pop_trailing_newline() isn't supported because the token is already written to the file. this is fixable if desired.

Please write tests exercising the new code

Seems like the class hierarchy should be the other way around. CodegenState should specialize CodegenWriter.

Then we wouldn't have to have an awkward default value for writer.

[zsol]

this is incorrect, code that doesn't end in a trailing newline won't be serialized properly (for example the python module "" will be serialized as "\n")
