The new OpenQASM standard introduces many additional datatypes besides quantum and classical registers. This allows to describe classical components of quantum algorithms in a very intuitive way. As a first step, support for all kinds of new types should be added to the QFR library and, correspondingly, to the QuantumComputation class. For details on all the new typed provided by the standard, see https://qiskit.github.io/openqasm/language/classical.html.

It also introduces the concept of constant values that can be declared with the const modifier. These are essentially known at "compile-time" and can be used to describe mathematical expressions (similar to OpenQASM 2.0's parameter expressions).

The QuantumComputation class should be capable of managing constants and performing tasks such as constant propagation.

Depends on #30 for the availability of the new datatypes.
