Adds all the necessary machinery to our toolchain and Bazel
configuration to support ASan. This includes ensuring sufficient debug
information is available for backtraces, etc.
As part of ASan, it enables UBSan to catch more basic undefined behavior
in C++. It also enables more complete checking in ASan for lifetime
bugs.
These configs can be enabled in any build mode with `--config=asan`.
They are also enabled by default in `-c fastbuild` where asserts are
also enabled. The goal is to have a single build mode that catches the
overwhelming majority of correctness issues.
Leak checking is part of ASan and finds leaks in `executable_semantics`
code that probably aren't interesting to fix right now. I've disabled
leak checking in the `BUILD` file for the test that showed this --
everything else passed. If more things need this disabled, the same
`BUILD` change should be easily replicated.
If you see unsymbolized backtraces, you may need to either put
`llvm-symbolizer` on your path, or point the `ASAN_SYMBOLIZER_PATH`
environment variable at it. For example, in the project root you could
do something like the following to use the downloaded toolchain's
symbolizer:
```bash export
ASAN_SYMBOLIZER_PATH=$PWD/bazel-clang-toolchain/bin/llvm-symbolizer
```
I'll try to update documentation soon with this as well.
- Give unary `-` and `not` the same precedence as in C++
- Add detail to parse error messages, and make the --trace flag also enable parser debug tracing
- Make any new shift-reduce conflicts into build errors
- Use `%precedence` rather than `%nonassoc` where possible, in order to catch more grammar bugs at build time

We're now one step away from eliminating bare pointers in semantic actions.
There are plenty of other cleanups and modernizations that can be made in the
parser, but the elimination of bare pointers is the one that has the highest
impact for the codebase.
Slowly bringing this into line with Bison's C++ example parser
so we can use strong semantic values for symbols rather than
leaking pointers. First step is to thread a `ParseAndLexContext`
object through the whole syntactic analysis state, like the
example has. In the example, it's called `driver`.

Distinguishes parts that come from the parser and lexer. It used to be that all
the files were called "syntax*", but lexing and parsing are distinct phases that
are easier to keep track of when distinguished. syntax.yy.cpp being the source
file generated by flex, containing the lexer was particularly confusing, because
the yy tends to indicate it is a yacc/Bison product, and the ".tab." substring,
indicating "tables" is not really useful to the developer.
These names also match up with what Bison's C++ example uses, which will make
the transition easier.
