This moves trailing closures from expr-postfix up to the level of
expr, and introduces an intermediate level (expr-basic) for places
that need to parse expressions followed by curly braces, such as
if/while/switch/for. Trailing closures are still restricted to occur
after expr-postfix, although the parser itself parses a slightly more
general and then complains if it got more than an expr-postfix.

Trailing closure syntax allows one to write a closure following any
other postfix expression, which passes the closure to that postfix
expression as an arguments. For example:
sort(fruits) { |lhs, rhs|
print("Comparing \(lhs) to \(rhs)\n")
return lhs > rhs
}
As a temporary limitation to work around the ambiguity with
if foo { ... } { ... }
we require trailing closures to have an explicit parameter list, e.g.,
if foo { || ... } { ... }
