to_parity: Rewrite the function and add new transformations

* spot/twaalgos/synthesis.cc: Now needs to call reduce_parity.
* spot/twaalgos/toparity.cc, spot/twaalgos/toparity.hh: here.
* spot/twaalgos/zlktree.hh: make zielonka_node public
* tests/core/ltlsynt.test, tests/python/games.ipynb,
  tests/python/synthesis.ipynb, tests/python/toparity.py:
  update tests
