[foreign-jextract] [Rev 01] RFR: Represent typedef with Declaration.Variable instead of Declaration.Scoped

[Henry Jen]

> Currently jextract API only present typedef declaration for record types, and using Declaration.Scoped to do so.
> 
> This makes downstream tools like jextract impossible to generate more comprehensive type. For example, if the tool
> would like to create a carrier type for size_t with similar name, because we pass through that, this is impossible.
> This patch try to present typedef as Declaration.Variable with Kind TYPE. This will give us more transparency on
> dealing with typedef, and enable factoring an Declaration.Variable.TYPE from a Type.Delegated.TYPEDEF.
> This would also be useful when a tool collecting type dependencies and encounter anonymous type or types without
> declaration, this gave the tool a chance to inject an implicit typedef to associate a type with a proper name.
> There is one thing worth further discussion is that if we would like to consider generate array with typedef, currently
> the array element type won't be a Type.Delegated.TYPEDEF, but canonical type. The test case try to explain what should
> be expected for most use cases, if there is any possible way to use typedef, I'll try to add them.
