[ABNF] Make the lexical grammar slightly less ambiguous. Before this commit, 'true' and 'false' were both keywords and boolean literals, making the grammar slightly more ambiguous than it needs to be. This manifests in the formal specification of lexing and parsing, which would need an additional extra-grammatical predicate requiring 'true' and 'false' to be boolean literals and not keywords. By making 'true' and 'false' just boolean literals, we obviate that need. Extend the comment about identifiers and package names not being keywords or aleo1... to also exclude boolean literals. This is similar to the grammar of Java, in which 'true', 'false', and 'null' are not keywords. This does not necessitate any change to the lexer/parser, which already performs its own procedural disambiguation of this and other aspects of the grammar.

[ABNF] Rename 'natural' to 'numeral'. This applies both to the rule name and to the terminology used for that, namely for a non-empty sequence of decimal digits. While 'natural' was meant to describe a natural number (i.e. a non-negative integer: 0, 1, 2, ...), it is perhaps not a familiar term to many users. On the other hand, 'integer', while often used in programming languages for this kind of thing, is not ideal as integers may be negative. Also, assuming type inference, a lone numeral like `17` may actually not denote an integer number at all, because it may actually denote a group element if type inference turns it into `17group`, and group elements are not integers. All in all, 'numeral' seems like a good term, also according to its dictionary definition. It is used in the Java grammar to denote this kind of thing, for instance. If, in the future, we want to allow hexadecimal, octal, or binary notation, we could rename this to `decimal-numeral`, introduce `hexadecimal-numeral`, `octal-numeral`, and `binary-numeral`, and `numeral` as the union of these.

[ABNF] Grammar for pre-testnet3 version. This is obtained by removing features from the grammar currently in the testnet3 branch. The documentation comments have been removed to keep the file smaller and simpler to read, as readers of this file should be already familiar with Leo. Furthermore, that documentation material is being moved to the Leo Language Reference. This commit also folds the format string grammar (for console print strings) into (a separate section of) the same file, again for simplicity. The previous separate small file (and generated markdown) for format strings has thus been removed.

[ABNF] Add (first draft of) input grammar. This is the (sub)grammar for input files. It is an initial draft, written based on the Notion page 'Leo Input File Doc/Spec'. This should be compared with the currently implemented parser of input (i.e. .in) files. As the Leo Reference will describe (that part has not been written yet), the input grammar is based on the lexical grammar, i.e. an input file consists of tokens, comments, and whitespace. However, only some tokens (compared to the syntactic grammar for Leo code files) are used, namely the ones reachable from the `input-file` nonterminal. Currently (i.e. im this initial version of Leo) `input-type` is (any) `type` and `input-expression` is just a `literal`, but these may evolve as we extend the language (e.g. we'll probably disallow circuit types and allow tuple and array constructions). The intent is that `input-type` will be a subset of `type` and that `input-expression` will be a subset of `expression`.

[ABNF] Add operator calls. Since these are a method-like syntax for unary and binary operators (as in fact these are represented as operators in the AST), the nomenclature 'operator call' seems appropriate, at least for now. There is no need yet to introduce notions of associated functions (and constants). The rules explicitly distinguish between unary and binary ones, corresponding to unary and binary operators. This lets us exclude right away calls with too many arguments, and gives us a way to distinguish the two kinds. A trailing comma is allowed at the end of the one argument of binary operator calls, if one is really inclined to use it, just for syntactic consistency with other calls (namely, function calls).

[ABNF] Improve nomenclature. Replace 'circuit-or-alias-type' with 'identifier-or-self-type'. This makes the nomenclature for types more clear and extensible: - A type may be an identifier, which may be the name of a circuit type or the name of a type alias. - In the future, an identifier used as a type could refer to other kinds of types that we may add, such as enumerations. - While both 'alias type' and 'type alias' could be acceptable terms, it seems best to standardize on 'type alias': the latter describes an alias of a type (which is the right concept), while the former suggests a type of the "alias" kind (cf. 'circuit type', 'field type', 'integer type', etc.). Type aliases are not another kind of types like the other: they are aliases of (any of) those kinds of types. So by not having 'circuit-or-alias-type' we avoid suggesting a notion of 'alias type'. This does not change the language described by the grammar, it merely changes some nomenclature in the grammar. Thus, no change to the parser is needed. Aligning the nomenclature in the abstract syntax and parser to the ABNF would be good, but entirely optional at this point.

[ABNF] Grammar for pre-testnet3 version. This is obtained by removing features from the grammar currently in the testnet3 branch. The documentation comments have been removed to keep the file smaller and simpler to read, as readers of this file should be already familiar with Leo. Furthermore, that documentation material is being moved to the Leo Language Reference. This commit also folds the format string grammar (for console print strings) into (a separate section of) the same file, again for simplicity. The previous separate small file (and generated markdown) for format strings has thus been removed.

[ABNF] Fix rule for console statements. The ending semicolon was missing. This was found by @bendyarm, while investigating a discrepancy between the Leo parser in Rust and the Leo parser in ACL2: the latter was correctly following the erroneous grammar rule; it will be changed to be consistent with the fixed rule.

[ABNF] Require function output type. Since this pre-testnet3 version of Leo does not support tuple types, and since a missing function type is meant to be interpreted as the empty tuple type `()` in future versions of Leo, it seems appropriate to require a function output type in this version of Leo. We could instead default to a different type (e.g. bool), but it seems cleaner to require it for now, and make it optional later.

[ABNF] Improve doc comment. Given that the Leo Reference explains well that the format string grammar applies to the character sequence after processing escapes, we do not need to say this here. Instead, we just explain the rule similarly to what we do for others.

[ABNF] Add (first draft of) input grammar. This is the (sub)grammar for input files. It is an initial draft, written based on the Notion page 'Leo Input File Doc/Spec'. This should be compared with the currently implemented parser of input (i.e. .in) files. As the Leo Reference will describe (that part has not been written yet), the input grammar is based on the lexical grammar, i.e. an input file consists of tokens, comments, and whitespace. However, only some tokens (compared to the syntactic grammar for Leo code files) are used, namely the ones reachable from the `input-file` nonterminal. Currently (i.e. im this initial version of Leo) `input-type` is (any) `type` and `input-expression` is just a `literal`, but these may evolve as we extend the language (e.g. we'll probably disallow circuit types and allow tuple and array constructions). The intent is that `input-type` will be a subset of `type` and that `input-expression` will be a subset of `expression`.

[ABNF] Relax input and output expressions. In input and output files, literals are actually insufficient to represent the most negative values of the signed integer types. Given that we are likely to need richer forms of input and output expressions anyways, at this point it seems best to allow any expression at the grammatical level, and add static semantic requirements on the allowed expressions. As done with all the other requirements, these will be stated in the Leo Reference, formalized in ACL2, and enforced in the Leo compiler.

[ABNF] Refine the rule for input titles. Since we only allow four kinds of input section titles, corresponding to the public/private/constant/const characterization of function inputs, it seems beneficial to put this into the grammar, where it is easily captured. Note that the previous version of the rule, which uses `identifier`, is not quite right, because, for example, `public` is not an identiifer (it is a keyword). So the rule would have to be modified anyways.

[ABNF] Add initial output grammar. This is for the current simplified version of Leo. When the main function is executed, it returns a value. According to this grammar, the output (i.e. `.out`) file contains a single literal, which describes the output value, preceded by an `[output]` title. This may be extended in the future.
