* Add to the peg generator a new directive ('&&') that allows to expect
a token and hard fail the parsing if the token is not found. This
allows to quickly emmit syntax errors for missing tokens.
* Use the new grammar element to hard-fail if the ':' is missing before
suites.
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.

* Implement running the parser a second time for the errors messages
The first parser run is only responsible for detecting whether
there is a `SyntaxError` or not. If there isn't the AST gets returned.
Otherwise, the parser is run a second time with all the `invalid_*`
rules enabled so that all the customized error messages get produced.
This commit reverts commit ac0333e1e1 as the original links are working again and they provide extended features such as comments and alternative versions.
* Add new capability to the PEG parser to type variable assignments. For instance:
```
| a[asdl_stmt_seq*]=';'.small_stmt+ [';'] NEWLINE { a }
```
* Add new sequence types from the asdl definition (automatically generated)
* Make `asdl_seq` type a generic aliasing pointer type.
* Create a new `asdl_generic_seq` for the generic case using `void*`.
* The old `asdl_seq_GET`/`ast_seq_SET` macros now are typed.
* New `asdl_seq_GET_UNTYPED`/`ast_seq_SET_UNTYPED` macros for dealing with generic sequences.
* Changes all possible `asdl_seq` types to use specific versions everywhere.
Currently, empty sequences in gather rules make the conditional for
gather rules fail as empty sequences evaluate as "False". We need to
explicitly check for "None" (the failure condition) to avoid false
negatives.
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.
These are like keywords but they only work in context; they are not reserved except when there is an exact match.
This would enable things like match statements without reserving `match` (which would be bad for the `re.match()` function and probably lots of other places).

The scripts in `Tools/peg_generator/scripts` mostly assume that
`ast.parse` and `compile` use the old parser, since this was the
state of things, while we were developing them. They need to be
updated to always use the correct parser. `_peg_parser` is being
extended to support both parsing and compiling with both parsers.
