For types, make it optional to return a default value. While default
values for some types are meaningful, they are not meaningful for all
types (e.g., Action, Control, Parser, Parser state, etc.).

Support calling (invoking) a Control. There is still plenty more to
do here, but we are off to a good start.

The compilation code was written as a precursor for implementation
with macros. The updates in this commit make the switch.
There is still plenty to do:
1. Comment Walker.
2. Comment Macros.

Add support functions to check whether a (block of) statement(s) contains
any statements that should not appear in that block (e.g., switch in
an action).

When a function is called, if there is an (in)out parameter,
make sure that updated values are propogated to the calling
function.

The type system (and the value system) now include attributes
for each type (things like direction, const-ness).
Signed-off-by: Will Hawkins <hawkinsw@obs.cr>
Add support for directions on parameters and attributed types. The
latter is necessary to support the former, but is not limited to
the direction use case. An attributed type is a P4 type with attributes
(like its direction, whether it is read only, etc.) Other attributes
will be added in the future.
Changes necessary to support attributed types include:
1. Global instances tracked during compilation are not attributed
types and not simply types.
2. (future) Type checking will have to make sure that a types
attributes do not affect type compatibility.

By adding an expected type to the compilation context, it is
now possible for type checking to occur on keyset expressions
and return statements at the moment that they are being compiled.
Previously, it was necessary to tentatively compile them and then
typecheck afterward.

Refactor the class hierarchy for parser states so that
there is a parser state that acts more like a type and
one that acts more like a value (the latter, then, serves
as the base class for the other instantiated parser states).

Fields were not given default values when a struct was declared
without initializers.
Also, cleanup code in the helper function for binary operations
on struct instances.

1. Add support for field access
2. Add support for proper type checking of array access
3. Add tests for nested field and array access
