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 }] {
[...] }
This will improve the debug experience if something fails in the produced AST. Previously, errors in the produced AST can be felt much later like in the garbage collector or the compiler, making debugging them much more difficult.
This commit changes the parsing of f-string expressions with the new parser. The parser gets pre-fed with the location of the expression itself (not the f-string, which was what we were doing before). This allows us to completely skip the shifting of the AST nodes after the parsing is completed.
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.
