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.

The hard part was making all the tests pass; there are some subtle issues here, because apparently the future import wasn't tested very thoroughly in previous Python versions.
For example, `inspect.signature()` returned type objects normally (except for forward references), but strings with the future import. We changed it to try and return type objects by calling `typing.get_type_hints()`, but fall back on returning strings if that function fails (which it may do if there are future references in the annotations that require passing in a specific namespace to resolve).
`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.
A line with only a line continuation character should be considered
a blank line at tokenizer level so that only a single NEWLINE token
gets emitted. The old parser was working around the issue, but the
new parser threw a `SyntaxError` for valid input. For example,
an empty line following a line continuation character was interpreted
as a `SyntaxError`.

The error message, generated for a non-parenthesized generator expression
in function calls, was still the generic `invalid syntax`, when the generator expression wasn't appearing as the first argument in the call. With this patch, even on input like `f(a, b, c for c in d, e)`, the correct error message gets produced.
This commit fixes the new parser to disallow invalid targets in the
following scenarios:
- Augmented assignments must only accept a single target (Name,
Attribute or Subscript), but no tuples or lists.
- `except` clauses should only accept a single `Name` as a target.

When parsing things like `def f(*): pass` the old parser used to output `SyntaxError: named arguments must follow bare *`, which the new parser wasn't able to do.
* Rename PyConfig.use_peg to _use_peg_parser
* Document PyConfig._use_peg_parser and mark it a deprecated
* Mark -X oldparser option and PYTHONOLDPARSER env var as deprecated
in the documentation.
* Add use_old_parser() and skip_if_new_parser() to test.support
* Remove sys.flags.use_peg: use_old_parser() uses
_testinternalcapi.get_configs() instead.
* Enhance test_embed tests
* subprocess._args_from_interpreter_flags() copies -X oldparser
Move the check for dead conditionals (if 0) to the peephole optimizer
and make sure that the code block is still compiled to report any
existing syntax errors within.
Trying to assign a value to __debug__ using the assignment operator is supposed to fail, but
a missing check for forbidden names when setting the context in the ast was preventing this behaviour.
Special thanks to INADA Naoki for pushing the patch through
the last mile, Serhiy Storchaka for reviewing the code, and to
Victor Stinner for suggesting the idea (originally implemented
in the PyPy project).
