Simplify `beetle::Machine::get_code()`. about mijit HOT 3 CLOSED

I note that in the C implementation of Beetle, many of the above comments also apply, but it would barely be worth factoring out the commonality as the code is short half a dozen lines or fewer in most cases) and the extra abstraction would arguably make it harder to read. The Mijit code, unsurprisingly, is much longer, because it's effectively written in abstract assembler, not C.

It's interesting to notice therefore, that all the proposed abstractions above keep the low level of abstraction of the "abstract assembler" (and that they're mostly applicable to the C too, as mentioned above) rather than trying to raise the level of abstraction of the abstract assembler (effectively writing a Beetle-specific DSL).

@NickBarnes remarked that if Mijit ever becomes popular, people will inevitably generate Mijit code by compiling other languages. I don't think there's anything wrong with that.
