Solution ✅

PsuedoEntities

It seems basically done, we added isExternal() and makeExternal() to the Entity type to get this working.
We made a new PseudoEntity type which is created in parseExtern() in the parser.

What does `processPseudoEntities()` do?

We also had to add code that runs before anything else in beginCheck() in the typechecker/core.d to ensure that PseudoEntitys are unpacked, and then have embedded Entity have their parenting copied over.

All completed with 9e79bc6f8b0808d485093587f11777583703f17f on branch extern_symbols.
Merged extern_symbols -> varass_vardec_dependency
Make some tests
- efunc
- evar
- extern_test.sh
