The new syntax tree introduced with 1.8 represents send statements
(ch <- x) as statements; the old syntax tree represented them as
expressions (and parsed them as such) but complained if they were
used in expression context. As a consequence, some of the errors
that in the past were of the form "ch <- x used as value" now look
like "unexpected <- ..." because a "<-" is not valid according to
Go syntax in those situations. Accept the new error message.
Also: Fine-tune handling of misformed for loop headers.
Also: Minor cleanups/better comments.
Fixes#17590.

This makes a bunch of changes to package syntax to tweak line numbers
for AST nodes. For example, short variable declaration statements are
now associated with the location of the ":=" token, and function calls
are associated with the location of the final ")" token. These help
satisfy many unit tests that assume the old parser's behavior.
Because many of these changes are questionable, they're guarded behind
a new "gcCompat" const to make them easy to identify and revisit in
the future.
A handful of remaining tests are too difficult to make behave
identically. These have been updated to execute with -newparser=0 and
comments explaining why they need to be fixed.
all.bash now passes with both the old and new parsers.
