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.

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.

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.
