- define a common data structure Language which is a compiled result of the
bnf grammar. It is defined in Language.h;
- creates a clangPseudoCLI lib which defines a grammar commandline flag and
expose a function to get the Language. It supports --grammar=cxx,
--grammmar=/path/to/file.bnf;
- use the clangPseudoCLI in clang-pseudo, fuzzer, and benchmark tools (
simplify the code and use the prebuilt cxx grammar);

The main idea is to compile the cxx grammar at build time, and construct
the core pieces (Grammar, LRTable) of the pseudoparse based on the compiled
data sources.
This is a tiny implementation, which is good for start:
- defines how the public API should look like;
- integrates the cxx grammar compilation workflow with the cmake system.
- onlynonterminal symbols of the C++ grammar are compiled, anything
else are still doing the real compilation work at runtime, we can opt-in more
bits in the future;
- splits the monolithic clangPsuedo library for better layering;
