Description Jeffrey Overbey

This is the first of several enhancements we need to make to the C preprocessor in Photran.

The C preprocessor directives corresponding to particular tokens are stored as CPreprocessorReplacement objects.  These store the content of the directive as a string.  The directive needs to be stored in a manner that lets them be processed more easily, perhaps as a small AST.  For example, it should not be necessary to parse a string to determine whether it is an #include expansion or a macro expansion.
