Iterator syntax (#2126)
* Closes #1992 

A function identifier `fun` can be declared as an iterator with
```
syntax iterator fun;
```
For example:
```haskell
syntax iterator for;
for : {A B : Type} -> (A -> B -> A) -> A -> List B -> List A;
for f acc nil := acc;
for f acc (x :: xs) := for (f acc x) xs;
```
Iterator application syntax allows for a finite number of initializers
`acc := a` followed by a finite number of ranges `x in xs`. For example:
```
for (acc := 0) (x in lst) acc + x
```
The number of initializers plus the number of ranges must be non-zero.

An iterator application
```
fun (acc1 := a1; ..; accn := an) (x1 in b1; ..; xk in bk) body
```
gets desugared to
```
fun \{acc1 .. accn x1 .. xk := body} a1 .. an b1 .. bk
```
The `acc1`, ..., `accn`, `x1`, ..., `xk` can be patterns.

The desugaring works on a purely syntactic level. Without further
restrictions, it is not checked if the number of initializers/ranges
matches the type of the identifier. The restrictions on the number of
initializers/ranges can be specified in iterator declaration:
```
syntax iterator fun {init: n, range: k};
syntax iterator for {init: 1, range: 1};
syntax iterator map {init: 0, range: 1};
```
The attributes (`init`, `range`) in between braces are parsed as YAML to
avoid inventing and parsing a new attribute language. Both attributes
are optional.
