EEP: Replace "combo" question __add__method and replace with true cross-question piping functionality

[johnjosephhorton]

We can't use the current question __add__ method because restricted python doesn't allow it.

[johnjosephhorton]

For ideas: https://www.qualtrics.com/support/survey-platform/survey-module/editing-questions/piped-text/piped-text-overview/

[johnjosephhorton]

It should probably work like:

q1 = Question("multiple_choice", ... question_name = "first_question")
q2 = Question("free_text", question_text = "Perviously, you said {{  first_question }} 

though we might want to require some other indicator that it's a prior question and not a scenario field.

{{ PRIOR:first_question  }} 

What's qualtrics do here? cc: @rbyh

I think better would just be to use the question_name and then use '.' notation so the user can extract anything about that prior question if they want. Eq. they could do (in a question after q0

To the question {{ q0.question_text }} you responded with {{ q0.answer }}, giving the comment {{ q0.comment }}. 
Reflecting on your answer, do you think...

As an side, this could actually replace the existing memory module. Thoughts, @rbyh

Yes. Ideally user can immediately reuse any component, including having q1.answer become q2.question_options or one of the options
