c8bc7f1abd cmd/compile: better syntax error handling for new parser
- better error messages
- better error recovery by advancing to "follow" token after error
- make sure that we make progress after all errors
- minor cleanups

b569b87ca1 cmd/compile/internal/gc: recursive-descent parser
This is a translation of the yacc-based parser with adjustements
to make the grammar work for a recursive-descent parser followed
by cleanups and simplifications.

The yacc actions were mostly literally copied for correctness
with better temporary names.

A few of the syntax tests were adjusted for slightly different
error messages (it is very difficult to match the yacc-based
error messages in all cases, and sometimes the new parser could
produce better errors).

The new parser is enabled by default.
To switch back to the yacc-based parser, set -oldparser.
To hardwire the switch back, uncomment "oldparser = 1" in lex.go.

- passes all.bash
- ~18% reduced parse time per file on average for make.bash
- ~3% reduced compile time for building cmd/compile
