API: Add support for type aliases
Previously all types are compound. This adds support for aliases, so one can do things like: typedef u32 interface_index; or typedef u8 ip4_address[4]; Change-Id: I0455cad0123fc88acb491d2a3ea2725426bdb246 Signed-off-by: Ole Troan <ot@cisco.com> Signed-off-by: Klement Sekera <ksekera@cisco.com>
