Andrew Johnson e2464c8572 Implemented "global" variables in substitution files.
Rewrote the YACC grammar, with help from Benjamin Franksen in formally
defining the substitution file format in EBNF.  This version also
changes the way in which variables are added to the sub_collect
string; previously it appended a ',' after every entry, and removed it
off the end before calling dbLoadRecords(), but now we put the ',' at
the beginning of each entry, and just offer dbLoadRecords() the string
starting at the second character (not that this really matters, macLib
will quite happily ignore either a leading or a trailing comma in the
variable definition string).

We now warn if there are substitution values for which we have no
name, or if the file uses the deprecated syntax which permitted a
bareword token in front of the variable substitution or pattern
definition braces.
