RFR: 8358772: Template-Framework Library: Primitive Types

I would like to add primitive type support to the template framework library.

In follow-up work, we will use these types in random expression generation - but they can also already be useful on their own now.

I encountered an issue with some methods that return `Token` from the `TemplateFramework`, such as `Hook.insert` and `addDataName`. Since `Token` was package private, this class could not be used in some places where automatic type inference is required. I now refactored the code, so that the `Token` is just an empty interface, and all the methods are moved to a separate class `TokenParser`.

Original experiments from here: https://github.com/openjdk/jdk/pull/23418
