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).

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.
