Support for parsing expression patterns (#6977)
When parsing a pattern, if we encounter something that isn't pattern syntax, try parsing as an expression instead. We only need one-token lookahead to distinguish pattern syntax from expression syntax. Track a precedence group through pattern parsing so that we can allow different kinds of expressions in a top-level pattern (such as the operand of `let`) and in a nested pattern (such as a subpattern of a tuple pattern or within grouping parens). For example, we do not allow `case if ...`, and for now I've chosen to also not allow logical or relational operators at the top level of a pattern, so `case 1 + 1` is OK, but `case 1 == 1` and `case true and false` require parentheses. This decision should be ratified or revisited by a design proposal. Very basic check support is also provided, only sufficient to form an `ExprPattern` instruction and nothing beyond that. For now, all pattern matching against an `ExprPattern` fails with a TODO error. To support that, I've switched from calling `BeginSubpattern` in the parent handler of a pattern and `EndSubpatternAs*` in the pattern handler itself to calling both functions in parent handlers, with `EndSubpattern` converting an expression into an expression pattern where needed.
