Lars-Peter Clausen cdc9629ce7 Add support for forward type declarations
SystemVerilog supports forward type declarations. This allows to declare a
type identifier and use it, e.g. in a signal declaration, before declaring
what the actual type is. The type still needs to be fully defined
eventually in the same scope as its forward type declaration. E.g.

```
typedef T;
T x;
typedef int T;
```

The forward type definition can also contain the kind of the type it is
going to be. E.g struct, union, class, etc. The LRM calls this the basic
type. If the actual type is not of the basic type specified in the forward
type declaration this is an error. E.g.

```
typedef struct T;
typedef int T; // Error, int is not a struct
```

It is legal to have more than one forward type declaration for the same
type name, as long as the basic type is the compatible. It is even legal to
have a forward type declaration after the actual type has already been
declared. E.g.

```
typedef T;
typedef int T;
typedef T;
```

Implement support for forward type definitions as part of the new
typedef_t. The basic type will be attached to the typedef_t.

The compatibility of the basic type for multiple forward type declarations
will be checked in the parser. The compatibility of the basic type to the
actual type will be checked during elaboration, once the actual type is
known.
