To improve the user experience understanding what part of the error messages associated with SyntaxErrors is wrong, we can highlight the whole error range and not only place the caret at the first character. In this way:
>>> foo(x, z for z in range(10), t, w)
File "<stdin>", line 1
foo(x, z for z in range(10), t, w)
^
SyntaxError: Generator expression must be parenthesized
becomes
>>> foo(x, z for z in range(10), t, w)
File "<stdin>", line 1
foo(x, z for z in range(10), t, w)
^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

* Add source location attributes to alias.
* Move alias star construction to pegen helper.

Rename AST functions of pycore_ast.h to use the "_PyAST_" prefix.
Remove macros creating aliases without prefix. For example, Module()
becomes _PyAST_Module(). Update Grammar/python.gram to use
_PyAST_xxx() functions.
* Add to the peg generator a new directive ('&&') that allows to expect
a token and hard fail the parsing if the token is not found. This
allows to quickly emmit syntax errors for missing tokens.
* Use the new grammar element to hard-fail if the ':' is missing before
suites.
This is only there so that alternative implementations written in statically-typed languages can use this grammar without
having type errors in the way.

Currently walruses are not allowerd in set literals and set comprehensions:
>>> {y := 4, 4**2, 3**3}
File "<stdin>", line 1
{y := 4, 4**2, 3**3}
^
SyntaxError: invalid syntax
but they should be allowed as well per PEP 572
Left-recursive rules need to check for errors explicitly, since
even if the rule returns NULL, the parsing might continue and lead
to long-distance failures.

* Implement running the parser a second time for the errors messages
The first parser run is only responsible for detecting whether
there is a `SyntaxError` or not. If there isn't the AST gets returned.
Otherwise, the parser is run a second time with all the `invalid_*`
rules enabled so that all the customized error messages get produced.
* Add new capability to the PEG parser to type variable assignments. For instance:
```
| a[asdl_stmt_seq*]=';'.small_stmt+ [';'] NEWLINE { a }
```
* Add new sequence types from the asdl definition (automatically generated)
* Make `asdl_seq` type a generic aliasing pointer type.
* Create a new `asdl_generic_seq` for the generic case using `void*`.
* The old `asdl_seq_GET`/`ast_seq_SET` macros now are typed.
* New `asdl_seq_GET_UNTYPED`/`ast_seq_SET_UNTYPED` macros for dealing with generic sequences.
* Changes all possible `asdl_seq` types to use specific versions everywhere.
This program can segfault the parser by stack overflow:
```
import ast
code = "f(" + ",".join(['a' for _ in range(100000)]) + ")"
print("Ready!")
ast.parse(code)
```
the reason is that the rule for arguments has a simple recursion when collecting args:
args[expr_ty]:
[...]
| a=named_expression b=[',' c=args { c }] {
[...] }
`GET_INVALID_TARGET` might unexpectedly return `NULL`, which if not
caught will cause a SEGFAULT. Therefore, this commit introduces a new
inline function `RAISE_SYNTAX_ERROR_INVALID_TARGET` that always
checks for `GET_INVALID_TARGET` returning NULL and can be used in
the grammar, replacing the long C ternary operation used till now.
The following error messages get produced:
- `cannot delete ...` for invalid `del` targets
- `... is an illegal 'for' target` for invalid targets in for
statements
- `... is an illegal 'with' target` for invalid targets in
with statements
Additionally, a few `cut`s were added in various places before the
invocation of the `invalid_*` rule, in order to speed things
up.

This commit removes the old parser, the deprecated parser module, the old parser compatibility flags and environment variables and all associated support code and documentation.
The Py_FatalError() function is replaced with a macro which logs
automatically the name of the current function, unless the
Py_LIMITED_API macro is defined.
Changes:
* Add _Py_FatalErrorFunc() function.
* Remove the function name from the message of Py_FatalError() calls
which included the function name.
* Update tests.
The majority of this PR is tediously passing `end_lineno` and `end_col_offset` everywhere. Here are non-trivial points:
* It is not possible to reconstruct end positions in AST "on the fly", some information is lost after an AST node is constructed, so we need two more attributes for every AST node `end_lineno` and `end_col_offset`.
* I add end position information to both CST and AST. Although it may be technically possible to avoid adding end positions to CST, the code becomes more cumbersome and less efficient.
* Since the end position is not known for non-leaf CST nodes while the next token is added, this requires a bit of extra care (see `_PyNode_FinalizeEndPos`). Unless I made some mistake, the algorithm should be linear.
* For statements, I "trim" the end position of suites to not include the terminal newlines and dedent (this seems to be what people would expect), for example in
```python
class C:
pass
pass
```
the end line and end column for the class definition is (2, 8).
* For `end_col_offset` I use the common Python convention for indexing, for example for `pass` the `end_col_offset` is 4 (not 3), so that `[0:4]` gives one the source code that corresponds to the node.
* I added a helper function `ast.get_source_segment()`, to get source text segment corresponding to a given AST node. It is also useful for testing.
An (inevitable) downside of this PR is that AST now takes almost 25% more memory. I think however it is probably justified by the benefits.
