Robert Griesemer 5267ac2732 cmd/compile/internal/syntax: establish principled position information
Until now, the parser set the position for each Node to the position of
the first token belonging to that node. For compatibility with the now
defunct gc parser, in many places that position information was modified
when the gcCompat flag was set (which it was, by default). Furthermore,
in some places, position information was not set at all.

This change removes the gcCompat flag and all associated code, and sets
position information for all nodes in a more principled way, as proposed
by mdempsky (see #16943 for details). Specifically, the position of a
node may not be at the very beginning of the respective production. For
instance for an Operation `a + b`, the position associated with the node
is the position of the `+`. Thus, for `a + b + c` we now get different
positions for the two additions.

This change does not pass toolstash -cmp because position information
recorded in export data and pcline tables is different. There are no
other functional changes.

Added test suite testing the position of all nodes.

Fixes #16943.
