Mike Gerwitz f1cf35f499 tamer: asg: Add expression edges
This introduces a number of abstractions, whose concepts are not fully
documented yet since I want to see how it evolves in practice first.

This introduces the concept of edge ontology (similar to a schema) using the
type system.  Even though we are not able to determine what the graph will
look like statically---since that's determined by data fed to us at
runtime---we _can_ ensure that the code _producing_ the graph from those
data will produce a graph that adheres to its ontology.

Because of the typed `ObjectIndex`, we're also able to implement operations
that are specific to the type of object that we're operating on.  Though,
since the type is not (yet?) stored on the edge itself, it is possible to
walk the graph without looking at node weights (the `ObjectContainer`) and
therefore avoid panics for invalid type assumptions, which is bad, but I
don't think that'll happen in practice, since we'll want to be resolving
nodes at some point.  But I'll addres that more in the future.

Another thing to note is that walking edges is only done in tests right now,
and so there's no filtering or anything; once there are nodes (if there are
nodes) that allow for different outgoing edge types, we'll almost certainly
want filtering as well, rather than panicing.  We'll also want to be able to
query for any object type, but filter only to what's permitted by the
ontology.
