> Convert `vmSymbols::SID` to an `enum class` to provide better type safety.
>
> - The original enum type `vmSymbols::SID` cannot be forward-declared. I moved it out of the `vmSymbols` class and
> renamed, so now it can be forward-declared as `enum class vmSymbolID : int;`, without including the large vmSymbols.hpp
> file.
> - This also breaks the mutual dependency between the `vmSymbols` and `vmIntrinsics` classes. Now the declaration of
> `vmIntrinsics` can be moved from vmSymbols.hpp to vmIntrinsics.hpp, where it naturally belongs.
> - Type-safe enumeration (contributed by Kim Barrett)
> for (vmSymbolsIterator it = vmSymbolsRange.begin(); it != vmSymbolsRange.end(); ++it) {
> vmSymbolID index = *it; ....
> }
> - I moved `vmSymbols::_symbols[]` to `Symbol::_vm_symbols[]`, and made it accessible via `Symbol::vm_symbol_at()`. This
> way, header files (e.g. fieldInfo.hpp) that need to convert from `vmSymbolID` to `Symbol*` don't need to include the
> large vmSymbols.hpp file.
> - I changed the `VM_SYMBOL_ENUM_NAME` macro so that the users don't need to explicitly add the `vmSymbolID::` scope.
> - I removed many unnecessary casts between `int` and `vmSymbolID`.
> - The remaining casts are done via `vmSymbol::as_int()` and `vmSymbols::as_SID()` with range checks.
>
> -----
> If this is successful, I will do the same for `vmIntrinsics::ID`.
