d: change the return value of yylex from TokenKind to YYParser.Symbol

Browse Source 
The complete symbol approach was deemed to be the right approach for Dlang.
Now, the user can return from yylex() an instance of YYParser.Symbol structure,
which binds together the TokenKind, the semantic value and the location. Before,
the last two were reported separately to the parser.
Only the user API is changed, Bisons's internal structure is kept the same.

* data/skeletons/d.m4 (struct YYParser.Symbol): New.
* data/skeletons/lalr1.d: Change the return value.
* doc/bison.texi: Document it.
* examples/d/calc/calc.y, examples/d/simple/calc.y: Demonstrate it.
* tests/calc.at, tests/scanner.at: Test it.
