Introduce a modulo operator

[stevenheidel]

Tracking a value modulo 2*pi is a relatively useful thing to do, perhaps Quil's expressions should be extended to include a modulo operator.

Since % is already used for variables this wouldn't be a good choice. Instead we could:

• introduce a function mod(dividend, divisor), although this would be the first named function in quil with >1 arguments
• introduce some other symbol (maybe \)

@stylewarning would this be written

MOD remainder dividend divisor

[stylewarning]

another option is to do division and remainder simultaneously
