`ast.parse` and `compile` support a `feature_version` parameter that
tells the parser to parse the input string, as if it were written in
an older Python version.
The `feature_version` is propagated to the tokenizer, which uses it
to handle the three different stages of support for `async` and
`await`. Additionally, it disallows the following at parser level:
- The '@' operator in < 3.5
- Async functions in < 3.5
- Async comprehensions in < 3.6
- Underscores in numeric literals in < 3.6
- Await expression in < 3.5
- Variable annotations in < 3.6
- Async for-loops in < 3.5
- Async with-statements in < 3.5
- F-strings in < 3.6
Closeswe-like-parsers/cpython#124.
This implements full support for # type: <type> comments, # type: ignore <stuff> comments, and the func_type parsing mode for ast.parse() and compile().
Closes https://github.com/we-like-parsers/cpython/issues/95.
(For now, you need to use the master branch of mypy, since another issue unique to 3.9 had to be fixed there, and there's no mypy release yet.)
The only thing missing is `feature_version=N`, which is being tracked in https://github.com/we-like-parsers/cpython/issues/124.
After parsing is done in single statement mode, the tokenizer buffer has to be checked for additional lines and a `SyntaxError` must be raised, in case there are any.

An E_EOF error was only being caught after the parser exited before this commit. There are some cases though, where the tokenizer returns ERRORTOKEN *and* has set an E_EOF error (like when EOF directly follows a line continuation character) which weren't correctly handled before.
This commit also allows to pass flags to the new parser in all interfaces and fixes a bug in the parser generator that was causing to inline rules with actions, making them disappear.
