There are two errors that this commit fixes:
* The parser was not correctly computing the offset and the string
source for E_LINECONT errors due to the incorrect usage of strtok().
* The parser was not correctly unwinding the call stack when a tokenizer
exception happened in rules involving optionals ('?', [...]) as we
always make them return valid results by using the comma operator. We
need to check first if we don't have an error before continuing.
The invalid assignment rules are very delicate since the parser can
easily raise an invalid assignment when a keyword argument is provided.
As they are very deep into the grammar tree, is very difficult to
specify in which contexts these rules can be used and in which don't.
For that, we need to use a different version of the rule that doesn't do
error checking in those situations where we don't want the rule to raise
(keyword arguments and generator expressions).
We also need to check if we are in left-recursive rule, as those can try
to eagerly advance the parser even if the parse will fail at the end of
the expression. Failing to do this allows the parser to start parsing a
call as a tuple and incorrectly identify a keyword argument as an
invalid assignment, before it realizes that it was not a tuple after all.
To improve the user experience understanding what part of the error messages associated with SyntaxErrors is wrong, we can highlight the whole error range and not only place the caret at the first character. In this way:
>>> foo(x, z for z in range(10), t, w)
File "<stdin>", line 1
foo(x, z for z in range(10), t, w)
^
SyntaxError: Generator expression must be parenthesized
becomes
>>> foo(x, z for z in range(10), t, w)
File "<stdin>", line 1
foo(x, z for z in range(10), t, w)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* Add source location attributes to alias.
* Move alias star construction to pegen helper.

Rename AST functions of pycore_ast.h to use the "_PyAST_" prefix.
Remove macros creating aliases without prefix. For example, Module()
becomes _PyAST_Module(). Update Grammar/python.gram to use
_PyAST_xxx() functions.
* Add to the peg generator a new directive ('&&') that allows to expect
a token and hard fail the parsing if the token is not found. This
allows to quickly emmit syntax errors for missing tokens.
* Use the new grammar element to hard-fail if the ':' is missing before
suites.
This is only there so that alternative implementations written in statically-typed languages can use this grammar without
having type errors in the way.
