1. Allow Kinds to be registered by packages outside JuliaSyntax …

   Extensible kinds are quite tricky. We want
   * To use a small number of bits for them
   * To have the string representation in the source, but have the compiler
     able to fully inline the integer representation.
   * Allow modules with different kinds to cooperate together on the same
     integer representation.
   * Not trigger invalidation when new kinds are added
   * Different `Kind` modules to not require cooperation
   
   This is a very hard set of constraints to satisfy. The last one is
   already impossible in a single flat namespace so in this design we've
   given up on it and require cooperation between all kind extension
   modules, including module authors allocating non-colliding id's for
   their modules, in addition to non-colliding kind names.
