This was meant to happen but did not previously happen. It is not
ideal to do it now but better do it while we still can.
In short, this removes one half of the variables API (keeps
constants as they are) and repurposes the API to be only for
constants. This is also better for consistency to match errors.
This is unnecessary because for all contexts where type is
relevant the validator already makes sure the type and expression
match correctly, so you don't ever need to re-validate it. If you
are doing a generic case and are not sure, just use MASK_ALL.
Summary:
This commit changes the beta ness of a few types, those types are
looking quite stable. Edje types will likely not change. The
Efl.Gfx.Join types are actaully already stable since the last release,
since evas_vg was stable back then and those enums have been in there.
The elementary stuff looks a bit unthought, and we have the chance to
change the API in the backend, so maybe we want to not declare it
stable, but rather reintroduce the legacy types.
With this we can enable eolian generation of beta tags for types.

Summary:
This also simplifies the beta checking API by unifying it under
objects (makes much more sense that way) and reworks the validator
to have betaness support within its context state, allowing checks
to be done easily in any place.
The betaness checks are disabled for types for the time being,
because otherwise there are too many errors (types are assumed
to be stable as they are not tagged beta, but they reference beta
classes all over the place). Set EOLIAN_TYPEDECL_BETA_WARN to 1
in your environment to force enable the checks.

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.
As it is no longer necessary to pass unit when evaluating exprs,
it is not necessary to pass it here either. Convert all the APIs
to the new style and update all instances in our tree.
These types are of questionable value and the API was not entirely
thought out - remove for now, and if a legitimate use is found
later, they may be readded (with a better API), but typically it
seems best to redesign the bad APIs around safe containers...
First steps toward explicit function pointer support in eolian.
To declare a function pointer type, use the following syntax, similar to
a regular eolian method declaration.
function FunctionName {
params {
...
}
return: Return type
}
