[ABNF] Fix use of integers in literals.

Browse Source 
This removes the rule for `integer` and uses `natural` for all numeric literals.

Otherwise, lexing would be context-dependent for no good reason.

This is consistent with the lexer and parser of the Leo compiler.

Note that, for instance, `-1field` is not a literal, but rather a unary
expression where `-` is applied to the literal `1field`. This is consistent with
other languages too.

An integer (number) is either a natural or its negation.
We allow leading zeros also in negative numbers, e.g. `-007`.

There are two kinds of group literals.
One is a single integer followed by the type of group elements,
which denotes the scalar product of the generator point by the integer.
One is a single natural followed by the type of group elements,
which denotes the scalar product of the generator point by the natural.
The other kind is not a token because it allows some whitespace inside;
therefore, it is defined in the syntactic grammar.
