mstr-six f3b8e231ca Recover base declarations missing a colon (#7341)
Malformed `base` declarations with an omitted colon need two different
recovery paths. For `extend base`, the consumed `extend` modifier
requires the parse tree to retain its `BaseColon` and base expression
children, so this synthesizes an errored `BaseColon` and continues
parsing the expression.

Other malformed forms, such as `base calss X {}`, now use the standard
declaration-error recovery: emit `ExpectedAfterBase`, skip past the
likely declaration end, and form an errored `BaseDecl` without inventing
a colon or cascading diagnostics.

The regression covers `extend base Foo;`, bare `base;`, and the reviewer
counterexample `base calss X {}`.

Tests:
- `prek run --files toolchain/parse/handle_base.cpp
toolchain/parse/testdata/class/fail_base.carbon`
- `./scripts/run_bazelisk.py test -c dbg //toolchain/parse/...`
- `./scripts/run_bazelisk.py test -c dbg //toolchain/testing:file_test`
