eldritch horrors

this gives about 20% performance improvements on pure parsing. obviously
it will be less on full eval, but depending on how much parsing is to be
done (e.g. including hackage-packages.nix or not) it's more like 4%-10%.
this has been tested (with thousands of core hours of fuzzing) to ensure
that the ASTs produced by the new parser are exactly the same as the old
one would have produced. error messages will change (sometimes by a lot)
and are not yet perfect, but we would rather leave this as is for later.
test results for running only the parser (excluding the variable binding
code) in a tight loop with inputs and parameters as given are promising:
- 40% faster on lix's package.nix at 10000 iterations
- 1.3% faster on nixpkgs all-packages.nix at 1000 iterations
- equivalent on all of nixpkgs concatenated at 100 iterations
(excluding invalid files, each file surrounded with parens)
more realistic benchmarks are somewhere in between the extremes, parsing
once again getting the largest uplift. other realistic workloads improve
by a few percentage points as well, notably system builds are 4% faster.
