fixed: fixed multiword expression

The fixed dependency is used for certain fixed grammaticized expressions (they can be considered multiword expressions) that behave like function words or short adverbials. Fixed multi-word expressions are annotated in a flat structure, where all subsequent words in the expression are attached to the first one with the relation fixed.
