Changes also include: - Change `int` to `Int` and `float` to `Float` in Kit comment examples to use correct types - Remove "int" and "float" as correct types in types.rs - Make CompileResult<T> part of `error` module.

Implemented `parse_bool_literal` to centralize boolean parsing. Replaced inline boolean match with helper call. Extended primary token check to include `true` and `false`. Summary of changes: - Added `parse_bool_literal` method - Updated `Rule::boolean` handling to use the new helper - Modified primary keyword match to route booleans through the helper

As of now, there is no type inference when evaluating types like
var something;and the goal of this PR is to implement a type inference system (Hindley-Milner) to properly evaluate to the correct types.Later on, type inference should be expanded to also parse C headers (and Kit modules).
