This patch refactors the parser and preparser interface to be more readable and type-safe. It has no behavior changes. Previously, parsers and preparsers were configured via bitfield called parser_flags in the Parser constructor, and flags in PreParser::PreParseProgram, ParserApi::Parse, and ParserApi::PreParse. This was error-prone in practice: six call sites passed incorrectly typed values to this interface (a boolean FLAG value, a boolean false and a boolean true value). None of these errors were caught by the compiler because it's just an "int". The parser flags interface was also awkward because it encoded a language mode, but the language mode was only used to turn on harmony scoping or not -- it wasn't used to actually set the parser's language mode. Fundamentally these errors came in because of the desire for a procedural parser interface, in ParserApi. Because we need to be able to configure the parser in various ways, the flags argument got added; but no one understood how to use the flags properly. Also they were only used by constructors: callers packed bits, and the constructors unpacked them into booleans on the parser or preparser. The solution is to allow parser construction, configuration, and invocation to be separated. This patch does that. It passes the existing tests.
