It's now possible to mark struct fields and function params as "references",
which causes them to become pointers in C (in bindings, they become whatever
is necessary). They're not a part of the type and are much more restricted
than pointers, allowing bindings to be easier. This system will be gradually
utilized and expanded as required.

As the implements list will soon contain all methods and properties,
do some preparations. The Eolian library now fills in class field in
implements early on when the implement is local. The Eolian C generator
now checks for local implements and skips them (so that things don't break).
so the test suites were useless because they didn't ecompile what was
generated. it was missing a ) at the end of calling eo_do_super to
start with. it was missing a call to do_uper fo destructors too. also
it didnt deal with the #include "blah.eo.c" at the file end either so
it produced uncompilable src at the start. again - also fix. this also
fixes test case comparisons to match the now correct generation that
compiles.
This new API supports function pointer types, multiple type subtypes, const attribute without parsing
the name string, own attribute for any partial type and more. This commit also updates the C and C++
generators so that they compile and generate correct code.

The function eolian_implement_information_get was returning strings for
the class and the function. It was written in this way at the beginning
because it was not needed to verify the correctness of the class and
the function.
Now that we have the namespace feature, this function must check it,
meaning that the class and the function are now known.
So we can return them instead of returning the strings.
The generators had to find the class from the classname. It is no more
needed.
The C++ generator has been adapted to this new API.
Until now, the functions giving access to class information were taking
the class name as parameter.
Except the fact that we needed to search into a hash table for the internal
class structure, no flexibility is possible.
This change consists in modifying most of the APIs using the class name
with a new Eolian_Class type and adapt the code of the C and C++
generators accordingly.
By using -gi option, the generator appends the functions that are
present into the given eo file and missing into the developer file
(given via -o option as an in/out file).
