compiler, language, runtime: Separate Parser Type From Instances

In P4, parsers are considered types. Those parsers are instantiated.
The instantiated parsers are values. Previously, gp4 treated a parser
type and a parser value as identical. This PR makes that difference
clear _and_ sets the stage for the future.

TODO: Make the same distinction between control and action types and
values.
