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!)

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.
