Fix Parser::look_ahead #127636

Parser::look_ahead has a slow but simple general case, and a fast special case that is hit most of the time. But the special case is buggy and behaves differently to the general case. There are also no unit tests. This PR fixes all of this, resulting in a Parser::look_ahead that is equally fast, slightly simpler, more correct, and better tested.

r? @davidtwco

It's currently buggy, so some of the test results are surprising, as
described in the `FIXME` comments. The bugs will be fixed in subsequent
commits.
The general case at the bottom of `look_ahead` is slow, because it
clones the token cursor. Above it there is a special case for
performance that is hit most of the time and avoids the cloning.
Unfortunately, its behaviour differs from the general case in two ways.

- When within a pair of delimiters, if you look any distance past the
  closing delimiter you get the closing delimiter instead of what comes
  after the closing delimiter.

- It uses `tree_cursor.look_ahead(dist - 1)` which totally confuses
  tokens with token trees. This means that only the first token in a
  token tree will be seen. E.g. in a sequence like `{ a }` the `a` and
  `}` will be skipped over. Bad!

It's likely that these differences weren't noticed before now because
the use of `look_ahead` in the parser is limited to small distances and
relatively few contexts.

Removing the special case causes slowdowns up of to 2% on a range of
benchmarks. The next commit will add a new, correct special case to
regain that lost performance.
This new special case is simpler than the old special case because it
only is used when `dist == 1`. But that's still enough to cover ~98% of
cases. This results in equivalent performance to the old special case,
and identical behaviour as the general case.

Local results showed that the new code has the same performance as the old code. Let's double check that.
