Mangling of sizeof when applied to a type

The ABI document does not currently specify the mangling of sizeof when
applied to a type. For example:
template <typename X>
void f(S<sizeof(X)>);
When instantiating f, we need a mangling for the argument type in the
uninstantiated form.
To that end, I suggest we introduce a new operator "st" which takes one
operand, but which is a type, rather than an expression.
This changes the mangling grammar like so:
<expression> ::= st <type>
It's better not to overload sz since that will make demangling harder.
If I don't hear objections in the next few days, I'll make this change
to the ABI document.
