compilers: remove Compiler.create_option

This saves a *tiny* bit of typing, but at the cost of requiring either
the current solution of throwing up our hands and saying "typing is too
hard, better to have bugs!" or an extensive amount of `TypedDict`s,
`overloads`, and a very new version of mypy. Let's get our type safety
back, even if it means writing a little bit more code.
