Dave Bartolomeo c3a6ca0d9a C++: Better support for complex numbers in IR and AST
This PR adds better support for differentiating complex and imaginary floating-point types from real floating-point types, in both the AST and in the IR type system.

*AST Changes*
- Introduces the new class `TypeDomain`, which can be either `RealDomain`, `ImaginaryDomain` or `ComplexDomain`. "type domain" is the term used for this concept in the C standard, and I couldn't think of a better one.
- Introduces `FloatingPointType.getDomain()`, to get the type domain of the type.
- Introduces `FloatingPointType.getBase()`, to get the numeric base of the type (either 2 or 10).
- Introduces three new subtypes of `FloatingPointType`: `RealNumberType`, `ComplexNumberType`, and `ImaginaryNumberType`, which differentiate between the types based on their type domain. Note that the decimal types (e.g., `_Decimal32`) are included in `RealNumberType`.
- Introduces two new subtypes of `FloatingPointType`: `BinaryFloatingPointType` and `DecimalFloatingPointType`, which differentiate between the types based on their numeric base, independent of type domain.

*IR Changes*
- `IRFloatingPointType` now has two additional parameters: the base and the type domain.
- New test that ensures that C++ types get mapped to the correct IR types.
- New IR test that verifies the IR for some basic usage of complex FP types.
