Add a new implementation of cpp that uses its compile-time feature to create a lexer. It supports extra feature like single and multi-line comments, string with escape characters, and preserves whitespaces and newline so that we can recreate the source code.

This implements a simple compile-time lexer in cpp with extra language features such as comments (single and multi-line) and a string literal. On top of that, it preserves the whitespaces and newline so that we can create the source code from it.
NOTE:
This is an experimental project to test the boundaries of
C++'s compile-time programming and see how far I can go with this.
