This PR extends support for type abbreviations to support aliases to other types that are lifetime parametric.
Consider the following output, which is similar to what happens in HACL-rs
pub type uint8_4p <`a> = &'a mut [u8];
pub type bufx4 = uint8_4p;
This will not compile, as both bufx4 and uint8_4p should be indexed by a lifetime.
This PR will detect that uint8_4p is parametric in a lifetime, and therefore generate pub type bufx4 <'a> = uint8_4p <'a>;.
