docs: split types from syntax (#11013) 
move together all syntactic and semantic information into one
page, and add a page on data types, which in turn links to the syntax and
semantics.

also split out the note on scoping rules into its own page.

  • primary scope: explicitly-bound variables

  • secondary scope: implicitly-bound variables

Primary scope takes precedence over secondary scope. See with for a detailed example.
