When using %define parse.assert, the variants come with additional variables
that are useful for development purposes. One is a Boolean indicating if the
variant is built (to make sure we don't read a non-built variant), and the
other is a string describing the stored type. There is no need to have both of
these, the string is enough.
The constructor for symbol_type doesn't take an ::std::string& as
argument, but a constant variant. However, because there is a variant
constructor which takes an ::std::string&, this caused the implicit
construction of a built variant. Considering that the variant argument
for the symbol_type constructor was cv-qualified, this temporary variant
was never destroyed.
As a temporary solution, the symbol was built in two stages:
symbol_type res (token::TOK_TEXT);
res.value.build< ::std::string&> (v);
return res;
However, the solution introduced in this patch contributes to letting
the symbols handle themselves, by supplying them with constructors that
take a non-variant value and build the symbol's own variant with that
value.

c++: revamp the support for variants
The current approach was too adhoc: the symbols were not sufficiently
self-contained, in particular wrt memory management. The "new"
guideline is the one that should have been followed from the start:
let the symbols handle themslves, instead of leaving their users to
it. It was justified by the will to avoid gratuitious moves and
copies, but the current approach does not seem to be slower, yet it
will probably be simpler to adjust to support move semantics from
C++11.
The documentation says that the %parse-param are available from the
%destructor. In retrospect, that was a silly design decision, which
we can break for variants, as its a new feature. It should be phased
out for non-variants too.

a symbol is empty.
This is needed for instance when shifting the lookahead: yyla
is given as argument to "push", and its value is then moved on
the stack. But then yyla must be declared "empty" so that its
destructor won't be called.
(basic_symbol::move): New.
Move the responsibility of calling the destructor from yy_destroy

A "symbol" groups together the symbol type (INT, PLUS, etc.), its
possible semantic value, and its optional location. The type is
needed to access the value, as it is stored as a variant/union.
There are two kinds of symbols. "symbol_type" are "external symbols":
they have type, value and location, and are returned by yylex.
"stack_symbol_type" are "internal symbols", they group state number,
value and location, and are stored in the parser stack. The type of
the symbol is computed from the state number.
The class template symbol_base_type<Exact> factors the code common to
stack_symbol_type and symbol_type. It uses the Curiously Recurring
Template pattern so that we can always (static_) downcast to the exact
type. symbol_base_type features value and location, and delegates the
handling of the type to its parameter.
When trying to generalize the support for variant, a significant issue
was revealed: because stack_symbol_type and symbol_type _derive_ from
symbol_base_type, the type/state member is defined _after_ the value
and location. In C++ the order of the definition of the members
defines the order in which they are initialized, things go backward:
the value is initialized _before_ the type. This is wrong, since the
type is needed to access the value.
Therefore, we need another means to factor the common code, one that
ensures the order of the members.
The idea is simple: define two (base) classes that code the symbol
type ("by_type" codes it by its type, and "by_state" by the state
number). Define basic_symbol<Base> as the class template that
provides value and location support. Make it _derive_ from its
parameter, by_type or by_state. Then define stack_symbol_type and
symbol_type as basic_symbol<by_state>, basic_symbol<by_type>. The
name basic_symbol was chosen by similarity with basic_string and
basic_ostream.
