generator: Handle <command> via vk-parse types and nom (#719)

For the upcoming `api` attribute in `vk.xml` commands also need to be
processed through `vk-parse` which has support for all the new
attributes, while `vkxml` is deprecated and completely untouched for
years.  This conversion unfortunately requires whipping up yet another
quick-and-dirty `nom` parser of a specific subset of C used in `vk.xml`
to describe parameter signatures.  This PR shows that conversion is
complete and provides no accidental semantic differences.

Also update `vk-parse` to `0.9` which contains a new `code` field on
`CommandParam` (`<param>` element) to be able to inspect the code
signature of individual parameters rather than parsing them out of (and
matching them back to `vk-parse`'s `params` array!) the `<command>`
/ `CommandDefinition` as a whole:
