Adds support for line, column, offset tracking in the Abstract Syntax classes.
Because the location support in cup 0.11a is spotty, 0.11a is almost 12 years old, and location support didn't work until recently, I decided that for location support, we would require cup 0.11b-2014-06-11 or later. I verified that without the -l option, cup 0.11a can still process the resulting files.
2552ae9 contains some edits besides the reversion that allow it to work with 0.11a when line number support is off.

We'll have to work something out with travis to test the -l option only with a newish cup.

Style issue: do not use Bool.

Please don't use plain Bool. Define a 2-value data type with telling names instead. Or at least define a type synonym.

Put argument documentations down as haddock comments, i.e, a -- ^ comment following the argument type. See https://github.com/andreasabel/haskell-style-guide/blob/master/haskell-style.md

Thanks for the contribution!
One of my missions is to improve the code quality of bnfc, in terms of documentation, maintainability, automatic testing, etc. Here is a style guide for Haskell code (WIP): https://github.com/andreasabel/haskell-style-guide/blob/master/haskell-style.md

OK, Bool has been excised from the places where it was used previously, and the C++ Backend has been updated as well. I can change the name of the line numbering flag if you'd like, but at least it's not a boolean now.

Thanks for the change.

Er, sorry to harp on this, but LineNumber sounds like you are passing a line number. Could it be something like HaveLineNumbers, HaveLocations, HaveLoc, HavePositions, HavePos which indicates a flag?

OK, I named it RecordPositions. I even renamed all the 'ln' variables rp. Thanks grep and sed.

The Travis failure is the same one that I've seen before about GHC versions. The 2 non-broken versions passed.

This reverts commit a65a265.

The location tracking of cup was really awful in 0.11a, so much so that tracking
locations in the abstract syntax tree is basically impossible. Revert this
commit and add a comment about the minimal version required when line numbering
is requested. Verified that cup 0.11a is supported without line numbering.
Adds line numbers to the generated Absyn files with -l
Adds cup support to record the line numbers as the Absyn tree is built.
When compiled with line number support, the symbolFactory argument must now be
supplied to the parser. All of the examples have been updated to reflect this.
Later cup versions complain that the constructor without a symbol factory is
deprecated. Without line numbering, passing the SymbolFactory to the constructor
doesn't hurt anything.
Use datatypes instead of booleans. It makes it much more clear what the
functions are expecting. Line numbering especially, as it needs to be threaded
troughout for both C++ and Java.

I re-ran the tests and encountered some errors, that I've cleaned up with this push. Everything should be in good order.

Thanks, I merged this.
I resolved some conflicts with my own patches done for #221, which I pushed now.
