Dodji Seketeli a102a2f032 Add support for abicompat weak mode
This patch implements the weak mode of abicompat.  In this mode, just
the application and the new version of the library are provided.  The
types of functions and variables of the library that are consumed by
the application are compared to the types of the functions and
variables expected by the application.  The goal is to check if the
types of the declarations consumed by the application and provided by
the library are compatible with what the application expects.

The abicompat first gets the set of symbols undefined in the
application and exported by the library.  It then builds the set of
declarations exported by the library that have those symbols.  We call
these the set of declarations of the library that are consumed by the
application.

Note that the debug information for the application does not contain
the declarations of the functions/variables whose symbols are
undefined.  So we can not just read them to compare them to
declarations exported by the library.

But the *types* of the variables and the *sub-types* of the functions
whose symbols are undefined in the application are present in the
debug information of the application.

So in the weak mode, abicompat compare the *types* of the declarations
consumed by the application as expected by the application (described
by the debug information of the application) with the types of the
declarations exported by the library.

To do this a number of changes were necessary.

The patch builds a representation of all the types found in the
application's debug info.  Before that, only the types that are
reachable from exported declarations were represented.

The abidw tool got a new --load-all-types to test this new ability of
loading all types.

The patch also adds support for looking a type, not by name, but by
its internal representation.

In the comparison engine, function_type_diff is introduced to
represent changes between two function types.  For this, a new class
type_or_decl_base has been introduced in the IR.  It's now the base
class for both decl_base and type_base.  And abigail::comparison::diff
now takes two pointers of type_or_decl, not decl_base anymore.  So
function_type_diff can take two function_type now; not that a
function_type has no declaration so it doesn't inherit decl_base.  A
bunch of changes got made just to adjust to this modification.

A number of fixes were made too, to make this work, like adding
missing comparison operators, removing asserts that too strong, etc..

The patch also adjust the test suite as well as the documentation.
