This is necessary even when parsing a single file because there
may be parsed results directly in the staging area introduced by
doc references, those wouldn't get correctly validated and would
be left in an inconsistent and unusable state.
The issue was that standalone-parsed files (outside of dependencies
of some other unit) were not being included in that dependency tree
(obviously) which resulted in their own dependency tree being
excluded from merging, causing the database hashes to lack the
necessary elements.
To fix this, I trigger merging of the "standalone" dependency trees
separately, by calling _merge_units from defer parsing cb.
Doc refs no longer introduce new dependencies into files. Instead,
they're parsed globally, and any doc ref lookup is also made
globally. This allows unit based dependencies to correspond more
to what files actually really need at compile time/runtime, with
docs being irrelevant to that; it also simplifies the API.
The doc resolution API now takes Eolian_State instead of
Eolian_Unit, too.
This is cleaner than adding into a hash manually. Additionally, it
is now possible to request that the file be parsed not as a dep,
but rather standalone, which will be useful later.
Eolian doc objects now bundle debug information necessary to
provide correct line/column numbers. It is not possible to get
this information cirectly from the text, as it's reformatted and
contains no extra whitespace or newlines beyond paragraph
separators.
Fixes T6701.
Previously, when an error happened in Eolian, the state was left
in a presumably unusable and inconsistent condition. This work
aims to change that, as all changes are committed into a staging
area before being validated and merged back into main state.
This is not yet complete, as units and by-file lookups are not
currently involved in the rollback. This will change in the
subsequent commits.

Unlike panic, this will be used to handle regular errors
such as parse errors. There will be no jumps and you
will be able to pass in a pointer to get the error
data into some local memory. That way you will be
able to override printing error messages.
As nearly every Eolian handle is backed by an Eolian_Object,
this information is now publicly exposed and has an API. This
opens up an array of new possibilities for tooling, as you
can now externally query file names, line numbers etc.,
as well as cast arbitrary handles to Eolian_Object pointers
and back.
This will be expanded later and it will replace the Declaration
system, as it's cleaner, better integrated and more versatile.
