Convert ir_data to a dataclass

This converts `ir_data` over to a `dataclasses.dataclass` and adds
various `FieldSpec` helpers to support that conversion. The `builder`,
`reader`, `IrDataSerializer`, `copy`, and `update` stubs are fully
implemented to support dataclasses as well.

This change results in a 38% speedup against a 75KB test file.

Fixes google#118.
