Robert Griesemer 09ada1af8f cmd/compile/internal/syntax: parser to accept ~x as unary expression
Accept ~x as ordinary unary expression in the parser but recognize
such expressions as invalid in the type checker.

This change opens the door to recognizing complex type constraint
literals such as `*E|~int` in `[P *E|~int]` and parse them correctly
instead of reporting a parse error because `P*E|~int` syntactically
looks like an incorrect array length expression (binary expression
where the RHS of | is an invalid unary expression ~int).

As a result, the parser is more forgiving with expressions but the
type checker will reject invalid uses as before.

We could pass extra information into the binary/unary expression
parse functions to prevent the use of ~ in invalid situations but
it doesn't seem worth the trouble. In fact it may be advantageous
to allow a more liberal expression syntax especially in the presence
of errors (better parser synchronization after an error).

Preparation for fixing #49482.
