This support has never really worked well, and is incredibly clunky to
use (it effectively creates two argument APIs), and clunky to generate (it isn't
clear how we should actually expose this from PDL frontends). Treating these
as just attribute arguments is much much cleaner in every aspect of the stack.
If we need to optimize lots of constant parameters, it would be better to
investigate internal representation optimizations (e.g. batch attribute creation),
that do not affect the user (we want a clean external API).

This commit adds detailed documentation for PDLL, its language design, and
captures a bit of the rationale. This document captures everything in-tree at present,
and is intended to be an all encompassing manual for interacting with and understanding
PDLL.
