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.

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.

update method will allow the creation of a new compilation context
based on the current one with new types/names.

Compilation interface(s) now contain a compilation context.
The change will make it easier to expand on what each step
of the compilation process needs to know to complete its task
without having to make major changes to the interface.
