AVS topology is split into two major parts: dictionaries - found within
ASoC topology manifest - and path templates.

Dictionaries job is to reduce the total amount of memory
occupied by topology elements. Rather than having every pipeline and
module carry its own information, each refers to specific entry in
specific dictionary by provided (from topology file) indexes. In
consequence, most struct avs_tplg_xxx are made out of pointers.

To support the above, range of parsing helpers for all value-types known
to ALSA: uuid, bool, byte, short, word and string are added. Additional
handlers help translate pointer-types and more complex objects such as
audio formats and module base configs.

Path templates are similar to path descriptions found in skylake-driver
and they describe how given path shall look like in runtime - number of
modules and pipelines that shape it and how they are laid out.
