Proto/Michelson: refactor the representation of types to remember the size

Raphaël Cauderlier requested to merge nomadic-labs/tezos:rafoo@type_size into master

Context

This MR refactors the representation of Michelson types to add metadata.

Currently the only metadata are the optional type annotation and the size of the type. The various type attributes are also good candidates. This is also probably a requirement for hash consing Michelson types.

The stored types are used to ensure the global size bound on types and the previous complex system (the "number_of_growing_types" mechanism) is removed.
