47502335aa Refactor the parser to use priorities
Define a single expression rule with disambiguation using token priorities
instead of the many layers of intermediate rules with explicit sub-terms.

Also replaces `in` for collection operations (`x+1 for foo in [1;2]`) with
`among` which helps a lot.

c94509e0bb Remove integer division from the language
it's unlikely to be used in any law, and likely to be cause for confusion.

best of all, the new operator has a different return type, which
ensures no inconsistency with the change can get overlooked.

fea01cfe4c Add overloaded operators for the common operations
This uses the same disambiguation mechanism put in place for
structures, calling the typer on individual rules on the desugared AST
to propagate types, in order to resolve ambiguous operators like `+`
to their strongly typed counterparts (`+!`, `+.`, `+$`, `+@`, `+$`) in
the translation to scopelang.

The patch includes some normalisation of the definition of all the
operators, and classifies them based on their typing policy instead of
their arity. It also adds a little more flexibility:
- a couple new operators, like `-` on date and duration
- optional type annotation on some aggregation constructions

The `Shared_ast` lib is also lightly restructured, with the `Expr`
module split into `Type`, `Operator` and `Expr`.
