feat: resolve generalized field notation using all parents (#5770)
* Now `getPathToBaseStructure?` can navigate to all parent structures,
not just through subobjects.
* Adds a "resolution order" for methods. This is the order that
generalized field notation visits parent structures when trying to
resolve names. The algorithm to compute a resolution order is the
commonly used C3 (used for instance by Python). By default we use a
relaxed version of the algorithm that tolerates inconsistencies. Using
`set_option structure.strictResolutionOrder true` makes inconsistent
parent orderings into warnings.
* This makes generalized field notation be able to resolve names for all
parent structures, not just those that are embedded as subobjects.
Closes #3467. (And addresses side note in #1881.)
* Modifies `getAllParentStructures` to return *all* parents. This
improves dot completion in the editor.
