As discussed in CL 401434 there are substantial misuses of these in the
wild, and they are a potential source of unsafety even for code that
does not use them directly.
We should either keep them as-is and document when/how they can be used
safely, or deprecate them so that uses will eventually die out.
After some discussion, it was decided to deprecate them outright.
Since the docs already mentioned that they may be unstable across
releases, it should be possible to get rid of them completely later on.

The metasyntax used in the spec is exactly the Wirth Syntax

but keep mentioning EBNF which is likely more commonly known.
Use the original terms in the productions. Specifically, use
the words "Term" and "Factor" rather than "Alternative" and
"Term".
The terminology cleanup also resolves an inconsistency in the
subsequent prose which is referring to the correct "terms" now.
While at it, add a production for the entire Syntax itself,
matching the original WSN definition.
Also, replace the two uses of "grammar" with "syntax" for
consistency ("syntax" is the prevalent term used throughout
the spec).

This reverts a behavior change introduced in Go 1.18 (commit 9f69a443;
CL 340049). In Go 1.17 and earlier, draw.Draw(etc, draw.Src) with
image.NRGBA dst and src images would pass through a (heap allocated)
color.Color interface value holding a color.NRGBA concrete value.
Threading that color.NRGBA value all the way through preserves
non-premultiplied alpha transparency information (distinguishing e.g.
transparent blue from transparent red).
CL 340049 optimized out that heap allocation (per pixel), calling new
SetRGBA64At and RGBA64At methods instead. However, these methods (like
the existing image/color Color.RGBA method) work in premultiplied alpha,
so any distinction between transparent colors is lost.
This commit re-introduces the preservation of distinct transparencies,
when dst and src are both *image.NRGBA (or both *image.NRGBA64) and the
op is draw.Src.

Specific types were introduced to explain rules for operands of
type parameter type. Specific types are really an implementation
mechanism to represent (possibly infinite) type sets in the machine;
they are not needed in the specification.
A specific type is either standing for a single named or unnamed
type, or it is the underlying (unnamed) type of an infinite set of
types. Each rule that applies to a type T of the set of specific
types must also apply to all types T' in the type set for which T
is a representative of. Thus, in the spec we can simply refer to
the type set directly, infinite or not.
Rather then excluding operands with empty type sets in each instance,
leave unspecified what happens when such an operand is used. Instead
give an implementation some leeway with an implementation restriction.
(The implementation restriction also needs to be formulated for types,
such as in conversions, which technically are not "operands". Left for
another CL.)
Minor: Remove the two uses of the word "concrete" to refer to non-
interface types; instead just say "non-interface type" for clarity.
