Add proto magic type
This will be used for storing the prototype CV of a ‘my’ sub. The clone needs to occupy the pad entry so that padcv ops will be able to find it. That means the clone has to displace its prototype. In case the same sub is called recursively, we still need to be able to access the prototype.
