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.

Add helper functions to fetch globally instantiated/declared
parser/controls (etc) and types in a user's P4 program.
