Add operation-related methods to parser_state

This adds several operation-related methods to parser_state.  These
methods make it more convenient to change the parsers to be
operation-based.

Because byacc has poor support for C++, a stack of operations is added
to parser_state.  A parser can push operations, then later pop them
for combination into new operations.  This approach avoids the memory
leaks that would result if raw pointers were used in the parsers, at
the cost of parser productions not being type-safe (they can't
indicate that they return an operation).

This also introduces analogs of some write_exp functions, like
write_exp_string_vector, write_dollar_variable, and
write_exp_symbol_reference.
