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.

Make it possible to output formatted error messages using a
flexible API that includes an ability to specify styles and
formatters.

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.).

Parameterize Runtime (nee ParserRuntime) so that it can run anything
that is LibraryCallable. TODO: Refactor its API -- left mostly as
it was because changing unit tests will be laborious.
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.

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).

1. Add support for field access
2. Add support for proper type checking of array access
3. Add tests for nested field and array access
