* libSyntax: Parse member access expression.
This patch uses createNodeInPlace from syntax parsing context API to
merge an expression with its suffix to create recursive nodes such as
member access expression.
Meanwhile, this patch breaks down a signed integer or float literal to a
prefix operator expression. This expression consists of two parts: an
operator and the following expression. This makes literals like "+1" or
"-1" no different from other prefix unary expressions such as "!true".
* Generate libSyntax API
This patch removes the hand-rolled libSyntax API and replaces it with an
API that's entirely automatically generated. This means the API is
guaranteed to be internally stylistically and functionally consistent.
Previously, users of TokenSyntax would always deal with RC<TokenSyntax>
which is a subclass of RawSyntax. Instead, provide TokenSyntax as a
fully-realized Syntax node, that will always exist as a leaf in the
Syntax tree.
This hides the implementation detail of RawSyntax and SyntaxData
completely from clients of libSyntax, and paves the way for future
generation of Syntax nodes.
A return statement needs something to return, so implement
integer-literal-expression too. This necessarily also forced
UnknownExprSyntax, UnknownStmtSyntax, and UnknownDeclSyntax,
which are stand-in token buckets for when we don't know
how to transform/migrate an AST.
This commit also contains the core function for caching
SyntaxData children. This is highly tricky code, with some
detailed comments in SyntaxData.{h,cpp}. The gist is that
we have to atomically swap in a SyntaxData pointer into the
child field, so we can maintain pointer identity of SyntaxData
nodes, while still being able to cache them internally.
To prove that this works, there is a multithreaded test that
checks that two threads can ask for a child that hasn't been
cached yet without crashing or violating pointer identity.

Add an option to the lexer to go back and get a list of "full"
tokens, which include their leading and trailing trivia, which
we can index into from SourceLocs in the current AST.
This starts the Syntax sublibrary, which will support structured
editing APIs. Some skeleton support and basic implementations are
in place for types and generics in the grammar. Yes, it's slightly
redundant with what we have right now. lib/AST conflates syntax
and semantics in the same place(s); this is a first step in changing
that to separate the two concepts for clarity and also to get closer
to incremental parsing and type-checking. The goal is to eventually
extract all of the syntactic information from lib/AST and change that
to be more of a semantic/symbolic model.
Stub out a Semantics manager. This ought to eventually be used as a hub
for encapsulating lazily computed semantic information for syntax nodes.
For the time being, it can serve as a temporary place for mapping from
Syntax nodes to semantically full lib/AST nodes.
This is still in a molten state - don't get too close, wear appropriate
proximity suits, etc.
