I've been torturing myself trying to figure out how I want to generalize
indexing, lookups, and value numbering in a way that is appropriate for this
project (that is, not over-engineered relative to my needs).
Before I can do much of anything, though, I need to stop having indexing
only as a `Root` thing (previously it wasn't even tied to `Root`). This
makes that change for tamec, but temporarily removes scoping concerns until
I can add more specific types of indexing.
Not only does this allow cleaning up some `Ident`-specific stuff from `Asg`,
but the cleanup also helps to show that portions of the system aren't still
using Root-based globals.
The linker (`tameld`) still uses the old `global` methods for now; those
will eventually go away, but this needs to change to unify both tamec and
tameld once we get to imports as part of the compiler.

This introduces a new `Doc` object that can be owned by `Expr` (only atm)
and contain what it describes as a concise independent clause. This
construction is not enforced, and is only really obvious today via the
Summary Pages.
There's a lot of latent and unrealized potential in TAME's documentation
philosophy that was never realized, so this will certainly evolve over
time. But for now, the primary purpose was to get `@desc` working on things
like classifications so that `xmli` output can compile for certain
packages.

This doesn't do the actual hard work yet of resolving and loading a package,
but it does place it on the graph and re-derive it into the xmli output.

This eliminates the TODOs that existed when looking for an OI for rooting an
identifier.
The change to `rooting_ci` is ridiculous, but I want to get other things
done before I jump down the rabbit hole of generalizing that (indexing local
identifiers). Though I have an approach in mind.
DEV-13708
Identifier lookups, as done using the graph methods today, look up from a
cache representing the global environment.
Templates must not contribute to this environment until expansion. Further,
metavariables will not be present in this environment. To avoid confusion
and help obviate accidental contributions to this environment, the methods
have been renamed. This will also allow for the creation of more general
methods down the line.

This makes the tests quite a bit easier to understand visually. I've been
doing this with all new tests but had to go back to some old ones, and still
have more to go back to. Baby steps.

Previous to this commit, ontological cross edges were declared
statically. But this doesn't fare well with the decided implementation for
template application.
The documentation details it, but we have Tpl->Ident which could mean "I
define this Ident once expanded", or it could mean "this is a reference to a
template I will be applying". The former is a tree edge, the latter is a
cross edge, and that determination can only be made by inspecting edge data
at runtime.
It could have been resolved by introducing new Object types, but that is a
lot of work for little benefit, especially given that only (right now) the
visitor uses this information.

See the Air docblock for more information. I'm introducing new tokens for
the template system, which uses the terms "free" and "closed". I prefer
open/close for delimiters, as I've expressed elsewhere, but unfortunately it
conflicts too much (and too confusingly) with other standard terminology as
we get more into the formal side of the language.
DEV-13708
This is more of the same refactoring that has been happening. This
extraction also helps emphasize the relationship between imported objects,
and isolates the growing number of test cases. This parser will only grow.
