Add parser support for generators.
This patchset begins by adding support for "yield", which is unlike other tokens in JS. In a generator, whether strict or classic, it is a syntactic keyword. In classic mode it is an identifier. In strict mode it is reserved. This patch adds YIELD as a token to the scanner, and adapts the preparser and parser appropriately. It also parses "function*", indicating that a function is actually a generator, for both eagerly and lazily parsed functions. Currently "yield" just compiles as "return".
