For syntax errors in various (syntactic) lists, instead of reporting
a set of "expected" tokens (which may be incomplete), provide context
and mention "possibly missing" tokens. The result is a friendlier and
more accurate error message.
Fixes#49205.

The exact same test case covered by this file is also in
fixedbugs/bug121.go. No need for duplication.
Also, the actual syntax error tested (multiple method names
with a single signature) is an unlikely syntax error, and
only here for historical reasons (in the very beginning, this
was actually possible to write). Now, virtually nobody is making
this mistake.

The error message is now positioned at the statement position (which is
an identifing token, such as the '=' for assignments); and in case of
assignments it emphasizes the assignment by putting the Lhs and Rhs
in parentheses. Finally, the wording is changed from "use of * as value"
to the stronger "cannot use * as value" (for which there is precedent
elsewhere in the parser).

Don't report errors if we don't have a correct type switch
guard; instead ignore it and leave it to the type-checker
to report the error. This leads to better error messages
concentrating on the type switch guard rather than errors
around (confusing) syntactic details.
Also clean up some code setting up AssertExpr (they never
have a nil Type field) and remove some incorrect TODOs.

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.

Towards better syntax error messages: With this change, the parser knows whether
a semicolon was an actual ';' in the source, or whether it was an automatically
inserted semicolon as result of a '\n' or EOF. Using this information in error
messages makes them more understandable.

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.

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
