Will Hawkins 294f76acd4 compiler: Refactor Compiler To Remove Ambiguities
Continuous Integration / Grammar Tests (push) Successful in 39s
Continuous Integration / Library Format Tests (push) Successful in 1m51s
Continuous Integration / Library Tests (push) Failing after 4m44s
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!)

Will Hawkins 61d8f601e8 compiler, language, runtime: Separate Parser Type From Instances
Continuous Integration / Grammar Tests (push) Successful in 4m2s
Continuous Integration / Library Format Tests (push) Successful in 5m0s
Continuous Integration / Library Tests (push) Successful in 8m1s
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.

Will Hawkins bd262e5b73 runtime: Parameterize Runtime
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.

Will Hawkins a24571222b runtime: Refactor Expression/Statement Evaluators
Allow the user to customize the evaluation/execution of expressions/
statements with something that implements functions that perform
those tasks. This additional functionality will make it possible for
the "classic" evaluator not to waste time checking for the presence
of interlopers and give implementers additional customization opportunities.

Will Hawkins d33066c543 compiler, runtime, testing, common: Centralize Execution/Evaluation
Centralize the execution of statements and evaluation of expressions
so that the user can specify a debugging "callback" after every
execution/evaluation.

The callback can be used for myriad things, but it seems likely that
it will be useful for implementing:
1. Testing
2. Debugger
