Implement handling of arrow functions in the parser
Arrow functions are parsed from ParseAssignmentExpression(). Handling the parameter list is done by letting ParseConditionalExpression() parse a comma separated list of identifiers, and it returns a tree of BinaryOperation nodes with VariableProxy leaves, or a single VariableProxy if there is only one parameter. When the arrow token "=>" is found, the VariableProxy nodes are passed to ParseArrowFunctionLiteral(), which will then skip parsing the paramaeter list. This avoids having to rewind when the arrow is found and restart parsing the parameter list. Note that the empty parameter list "()" is handled directly in ParsePrimaryExpression(): after is has consumed the opening parenthesis, if a closing parenthesis follows, then the only valid input is an arrow function. In this case, ParsePrimaryExpression() directly calls ParseArrowFunctionLiteral(), to avoid needing to return a sentinel value to signal the empty parameter list. Because it will consume the body of the arrow function, ParseAssignmentExpression() will not see the arrow "=>" token as next, and return the already-parser expression. The implementation is done in ParserBase, so it was needed to do some additions to ParserBase, ParserTraits and PreParserTraits. Some of the glue code can be removed later on when more more functionality is moved to ParserBase. Additionally, this adds a runtime flag "harmony_arrow_functions" (disabled by default); enabling "harmony" will enable it as well.
