feat: Add typing for Sequence() operation
continuous-integration/drone/push Build is failing Details

Also move the signature of the semantic sort TYPE into its own
  file to facilitate sharing between Statix and Stratego.
  (Currently it is shared via symbolic link, but that may cause
  problems down the line; if/when it does, will have to look at
  physically copying the file into src-gen via an "Additional
  build step" using either Stratego or Ant.

  Also documents using Statix types from Stratego.

The other (and in fact more typical) rule for `type_Seq`, when it actually
consists of a sequence of expressions, is a bit more involved. Fortunately
Statix provides a primitive for mapping over a list, so we can proceed as
follows:
```statix
types_Exs maps type_Ex(list(*)) = list(*)
type_Seq(s@Sequence(l)) = T :- {lt}
types_Exs(l) == lt,
lastTYPE(lt) == T,
@s.type := T.

Here `lastTYPE` is a function that extracts the last TYPE from a list.
Unless/until Statix develops some sort of standard library, it must be
hand-defined, as done in "statics/util.stx" like so:
```statix
{! ../statics/util.stx extract: {start: lastTYPE} !}

### Using type annotations in transformation
_Probably want to include stuff from analysis.str/ haskell.str here_
At this point, Statix properly types all of the valid programs of the very
rudimentary language defined by the grammar above. But the proximate purpose
for implementing this typing was to aid Haskell code generation. So how
do we actually use the assigned types in a Stratego transformation?
Statix provides a Stratego api that includes, among other items, strategies
`stx-get-ast-analysis` and `stx-get-ast-type(|analysis)` that provide access
to the assigned types. However, it's easiest to use the information via
a wrapper like this, essentially lifted from the "chicago" language project:
```stratego
{! analysis.str extract:
start: Extract.the.type
terminate: Prints.the.analyzed.type
!}
```
Now `get_type` run on a node of the analyzed AST produces the assigned `TYPE`
(as an ATerm in the constructors of sort TYPE in Statix).
Thus, you can select on the assigned type, as in the strategy to select
the correct Haskell operator to use to send an item to standard output:
```stratego
{! haskell.str extract:
start: '(.*hs_getOp.=.*)'
stop: \s
!}
```
