Generate TS bindings and lazy deserialization for the parser types.
# Important Notes
- The new API is imported into `ffi.ts`, but not yet used.
- I have tested the generated code in isolation, but cannot commit tests as we are not currently able to load WASM modules when running in `vitest`.
Adds the ability to declare a module as *private*. Modifies the parser to add the `private` keyword as a reserved keyword. All the checks for private modules are implemented as an independent *Compiler pass*. No checks are done at runtime.
# Important Notes
- Introduces new keyword - `private` - a reserved keyword.
- Modules that have `private` keyword as the first statement are declared as *private* (Project private)
- Public module cannot have private submodules and vice versa.
- This would require runtime access checks
- See #7088 for the specification.
Resolve macros eagerly. Improves performance; allows parser to handle arbitrarily-long lines (fixes#7691).
# Important Notes
- A new utility, `lib/rust/parser/debug/tools/parse_all_enso_files.sh`, supports comparing ASTs parsed with different versions of the parser. This tool has been used to verify that this refactor doesn't change the result of parsing any standard library or test file.
Fixes#5826.
# Important Notes
- Change frontend representation of negation.
- Fix a precedence issue: The `.` operators in -1.x and -1.2 must have different precedences.
- Remove a no-longer-needed special case from backend translation.
- Add tests for this case after all translations.
Implement new Enso documentation parser; remove old Scala Enso parser.
Performance: Total time parsing documentation is now ~2ms.
# Important Notes
- Doc parsing is now done only in the frontend.
- Some engine tests had never been switched to the new parser. We should investigate tests that don't pass after the switch: #5894.
- The option to run the old searcher has been removed, as it is obsolete and was already broken before this (see #5909).
- Some interfaces used only by the old searcher have been removed.
`@` should not be legal to use as a binary operator. I accepted it in the parser because it occurred in the .enso sources, but it was actually used to create a syntax error to test error recovery.

Libraries: Revert changes that were necessitated by a new rule we have decided not to introduce.
Parser:
- Support mixed constructors/bindings in types.
- Disallow zero-length hex sequences in character escapes: `\x`, `\u`, `\u{}`, `\U`, `\U{}` are no longer legal synonyms for `\0` (matches old parser behavior).
Ensure all tokens from the input are represented in trees resulting from invalid inputs--tests now cover every reachable code line that creates an `Invalid` node. (Also implemented stricter validation, mainly of `import`/`export` statements.)

Fix bugs in `TreeToIr` (rewrite) and parser. Implement more undocumented features in parser. Emulate some old parser bugs and quirks for compatibility.
Changes in libs:
- Fix some bugs.
- Clean up some odd syntaxes that the old parser translates idiosyncratically.
- Constructors are now required to precede methods.
# Important Notes
Out of 221 files:
- 215 match the old parser
- 6 contain complex types the old parser is known not to handle correctly
So, compared to the old parser, the new parser parses 103% of files correctly.
- Special precedence rules for case-of so that `:` operator works without parens or nospace-grouping.
- Support an old-lambda syntax: `x->x-> x`. According to the usual rules, the first nospace group would be parsed as an operator section. The expression now parses as a lambda that contains a lambda.
- Match old parser treatment of # in doc comments.
- Tweak precedence so (a : B = c) works.
- Documented constructors.
- Implement macro-contexts-lite (`from` is now only a keyword at the beginning of a line)
- Support special nospace-group handling for old lambdas (so expressions like this work: `x-> y-> x + y`)
- Fix a text-escape incompatibility
# Important Notes
- There is now an `OperatorFunction`, which is like a `Function` but has an operator for a name, and likewise an `OperatorTypeSignature`.
