Fix broken bootstrapping

The CI contains jobs to ensure bootstrapping works. In case it was broken anyways, e.g. due to a prematurely merged PR, follow these steps:

1. baitjs: Revert the bad commit

   cd ~/.bait/baitjs
   git revert HEAD --no-edit
   git push

2. bait: Fix the bad commit OR revert it
3. bait: Get a working compiler

   ./make.sh --local

4. Test the bootstrapping with an extra pass

   bait self -o b.js
   node b.js self -o b2.js
   node b2.js self -o bait.js
