Initial LLVM codegen vistor routines (#457)

* Added LLVM code generation for `ProcedureBlock`.
* Added code generation routines for double, integer and
   boolean variable types. 
* Added binary and unary operator code generation:
     - Supported binary operators: +, -, *, /.
     - Supported unary operators: -.
     - Assignment (=) is also supported.
* Added regex matching unit tests for LLVM code generation.
* Fixed Travis CI/builds.

fixes #451, fixes #452, fixes #456
