register-type -- allow users to specify whether to generate getters/setters

In some cases, registered types should have generated getters but not setters, e.g.:
struct foo {
MyStruct data[1];
};
If you register-type foo [data MyStruct]
you'll get an error during compilation, since it generates a setter for data
and MyStruct[1]
is not an assignable type. However, getters are still valid.
Perhaps we could permit an optional form in the registration, that, when present, restricts the generated functions:
(register-type foo [(data [getter]) MyStruct])
When omitted, we just use the default behavior and generate all the getters/setters.
