This adopts the new function store, replacing the C++ version.
It also reimplements builtin_function in Rust, as these was too coupled to
the function store to handle in a separate commit.
The translation is fairly direct though it adds some duplication, for example
there are multiple "match" statements that mimic function overloading.
Rust has no overloading, and we cannot have generic methods in the Node trait
(due to a Rust limitation, the error is like "cannot be made into an object")
so we include the type name in method names.
Give clients like "indent_visitor_t" a Rust companion ("IndentVisitor")
that takes care of the AST traversal while the AST consumption remains
in C++ for now. In future, "IndentVisitor" should absorb the entirety of
"indent_visitor_t". This pattern requires that "fish_indent" be exposed
includable header to the CXX bridge.
Alternatively, we could define FFI wrappers for recursive AST traversal.
Rust requires we separate the AST visitors for "mut" and "const"
scenarios. Take this opportunity to concretize both visitors:
The only client that requires mutable access is the populator. To match the
structure of the C++ populator which makes heavy use of function overloading,
we need to add a bunch of functions to the trait. Since there is no other
mutable visit, this seems acceptable.
The "const" visitors never use "will_visit_fields_of()" or
"did_visit_fields_of()", so remove them (though this is debatable).
Like in the C++ implementation, the AST nodes themselves are largely defined
via macros. Union fields like "Statement" and "ArgumentOrRedirection"
do currently not use macros but may in future.
This commit also introduces a precedent for a type that is defined in one
CXX bridge and used in another one - "ParseErrorList". To make this work
we need to manually define "ExternType".
There is one annoyance with CXX: functions that take explicit lifetime
parameters require to be marked as unsafe. This makes little sense
because functions that return `&Foo` with implicit lifetime can be
misused the same way on the C++ side.
One notable change is that we cannot directly port "find_block_open_keyword()"
(which is used to compute an error) because it relies on the stack of visited
nodes. We cannot modify a stack of node references while we do the "mut"
walk. Happily, an idiomatic solution is easy: we can tell the AST visitor
to backtrack to the parent node and create the error there.
Since "node_t::accept_base" is no longer a template we don't need the
"node_visitation_t" trampoline anymore.
The added copying at the FFI boundary makes things slower (memcpy dominates
the profile) but it's not unusable, which is good news:

Benchmark 1: ./fish.old -c 'source ../share/completions/git.fish'

Leftovers:
- Enum variants are still snakecase; I didn't get around to changing this yet.
- "ast_type_to_string()" still returns a snakecase name. This could be
changed since it's not user visible.
This works around an autocxx limitations where different types cannot
have the same name even if they live in different namespace.
ast::job_t conflicts with job_t.
Let's hope this doesn't causes build failures for e.g. musl: I just
know it's good on macOS and our Linux CI.
It's been a long time.
One fix this brings, is I discovered we #include assert.h or cassert
in a lot of places. If those ever happen to be in a file that doesn't
include common.h, or we are before common.h gets included, we're
unawaringly working with the system 'assert' macro again, which
may get disabled for debug builds or at least has different
behavior on crash. We undef 'assert' and redefine it in common.h.
Those were all eliminated, except in one catch-22 spot for
maybe.h: it can't include common.h. A fix might be to
make a fish_assert.h that *usually* common.h exports.
This is the first commit of a series intended to replace the existing
"parse tree" machinery. It adds a new abstract syntax tree and uses a more
normal recursive descent parser.
Initially there are no users of the new ast. The following commits will
replace parse_tree -> ast for all usages.
