This is used to help the user catch cases where some value gets
ovewritten by a new one.  This should not happen, as this will
probably leak.

Unfortunately this uncovered a bug in the C++ parser itself: the
lookahead value was not destroyed between two calls to yylex.  For
instance if the previous lookahead was a std::string, and then an int,
then the value of the std::string was correctly taken (i.e., the
lookahead was now an empty string), but std::string structure itself
was not reclaimed.

This is now done in variant::build(other&) (which is used to take the
value of the lookahead): other is not only stolen from its value, it
is also destroyed.  This incurs a new performance penalty of a few
percent, and union becomes faster again.

lalr1-fusion.cc will replace lalr1.cc.

Meanwhile, to make sure that lalr1-fusion.cc is correctly exercized by the
test suite, the user must install a symbolic link from lalr1.cc to it.

Instead of having three stacks (state, value, location), use a stack
of triples.  This considerably simplifies the code (and it will be
easier not to require locations as currently does the C++ parser),
and also gives a 10% speedup according to etc/bench (probably mainly since
memory allocation is done once instead of three times).

Another motivation is to make it easier to destruct properly
semantic values: now that they are bound to their state (hence
symbol type) it will be easier to call the appropriate destructor.

These changes should probably benefit the C parser too.
