There were significant overlaps in the names of data structures
between the compiler and the language that made it necessary
to litter the code with P4Lang.xxxx. This refactor removes that
requirement in most places (Parser is ambiguous wherever TreeSitter
is used -- cannot avoid that!)

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.

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.).

The type system (and the value system) now include attributes
for each type (things like direction, const-ness).

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).
