We cannot look at i+1'th character until we verify it's there.

Introduces the following syntax:
'\x55'
'\u26a0'
'\u{1f41e}'

Adds fully functioning template literals. Because template literals
contain expressions, most of the work has to be done in the Lexer rather
than the Parser. And because of the complexity of template literals
(expressions, nesting, escapes, etc), the Lexer needs to have some
template-related state.
When entering a new template literal, a TemplateLiteralStart token is
emitted. When inside a literal, all text will be parsed up until a '${'
or '`' (or EOF, but that's a syntax error) is seen, and then a
TemplateLiteralExprStart token is emitted. At this point, the Lexer
proceeds as normal, however it keeps track of the number of opening
and closing curly braces it has seen in order to determine the close
of the expression. Once it finds a matching curly brace for the '${',
a TemplateLiteralExprEnd token is emitted and the state is updated
accordingly.
When the Lexer is inside of a template literal, but not an expression,
and sees a '`', this must be the closing grave: a TemplateLiteralEnd
token is emitted.
The state required to correctly parse template strings consists of a
vector (for nesting) of two pieces of information: whether or not we
are in a template expression (as opposed to a template string); and
the count of the number of unmatched open curly braces we have seen
(only applicable if the Lexer is currently in a template expression).
TODO: Add support for template literal newlines in the JS REPL (this will
cause a syntax error currently):
> `foo
> bar`
'foo
bar'

This is required for template literals - we're not quite there yet, but at
least the parser can now tell us when this token is encountered -
currently this yields "Unexpected token Invalid". Not really helpful.
The character is a "backtick", but as we already have
TokenType::{StringLiteral,RegexLiteral} this seemed like a fitting name.
This also enables syntax highlighting for template literals in the js
REPL and LibGUI's JSSyntaxHighlighter.

This is very hackish and should definitely be improved. :^)

This is very hackish since I'm just doing it to make progress on
something else. :^)

Obey precedence and associativity rules when parsing expressions
with chained operators.

This adds a basic Javascript lexer and parser. It can parse the
currently existing demo programs. More work needs to be done to
turn it into a complete parser than can parse arbitrary JS Code.
The lexer outputs tokens with preceeding whitespace and comments
in the trivia member. This should allow us to generate the exact
source code by concatenating the generated tokens.
The parser is written in a way that it always returns a complete
syntax tree. Error conditions are represented as nodes in the
tree. This simplifies the code and allows it to be used as an
early stage parser, e.g for parsing JS documents in an IDE while
editing the source code.:
