Add support for parsing f-string as per PEP 701 (#7041)
This PR adds support for PEP 701 in the parser to use the new tokens
emitted by the lexer to construct the f-string node.
Without an official grammar, the f-strings were parsed manually. Now
that we've the specification, that is being used in the LALRPOP to parse
the f-strings.
This file includes the logic for parsing string literals and joining the
implicit string concatenation. Now that we don't require parsing
f-strings manually a lot of code involving the same is removed.
Earlier, there were 2 entry points to this module:
* `parse_string`: Used to parse a single string literal
* `parse_strings`: Used to parse strings which were implicitly
concatenated
Now, there are 3 entry points:
* `parse_string_literal`: Renamed from `parse_string`
* `parse_fstring_middle`: Used to parse a `FStringMiddle` token which is
basically a string literal without the quotes
* `concatenate_strings`: Renamed from `parse_strings` but now it takes
the parsed nodes instead. So, we just need to concatenate them into a
single node.
> A short primer on `FStringMiddle` token: This includes the portion of
text inside the f-string that's not part of the expression and isn't an
opening or closing brace. For example, in `f"foo {bar:.3f{x}} bar"`, the
`foo `, `.3f` and ` bar` are `FStringMiddle` token content.
***Discussion in the official implementation:
python/cpython#102855 (comment)
This change in the AST is when unicode strings (prefixed with `u`) and
f-strings are used in an implicitly concatenated string value. For
example,
```python
u"foo" f"{bar}" "baz" " some"
```
Pre Python 3.12, the kind field would be assigned only if the prefix was
on the first string. So, taking the above example, both `"foo"` and
`"baz some"` (implicit concatenation) would be given the `u` kind:
<details><summary>Pre 3.12 AST:</summary>
<p>
```python
Constant(value='foo', kind='u'),
FormattedValue(
value=Name(id='bar', ctx=Load()),
conversion=-1),
Constant(value='baz some', kind='u')
```
</p>
</details>
But, post Python 3.12, only the string with the `u` prefix will be
assigned the value:
<details><summary>Pre 3.12 AST:</summary>
<p>
```python
Constant(value='foo', kind='u'),
FormattedValue(
value=Name(id='bar', ctx=Load()),
conversion=-1),
Constant(value='baz some')
```
</p>
</details>
Here are some more iterations around the change:
1. `"foo" f"{bar}" u"baz" "no"`
<details><summary>Pre 3.12</summary>
<p>
```python
Constant(value='foo'),
FormattedValue(
value=Name(id='bar', ctx=Load()),
conversion=-1),
Constant(value='bazno')
```
</p>
</details>
<details><summary>3.12</summary>
<p>
```python
Constant(value='foo'),
FormattedValue(
value=Name(id='bar', ctx=Load()),
conversion=-1),
Constant(value='bazno', kind='u')
```
</p>
</details>
2. `"foo" f"{bar}" "baz" u"no"`
<details><summary>Pre 3.12</summary>
<p>
```python
Constant(value='foo'),
FormattedValue(
value=Name(id='bar', ctx=Load()),
conversion=-1),
Constant(value='bazno')
```
</p>
</details>
<details><summary>3.12</summary>
<p>
```python
Constant(value='foo'),
FormattedValue(
value=Name(id='bar', ctx=Load()),
conversion=-1),
Constant(value='bazno')
```
</p>
</details>
3. `u"foo" f"bar {baz} realy" u"bar" "no"`
<details><summary>Pre 3.12</summary>
<p>
```python
Constant(value='foobar ', kind='u'),
FormattedValue(
value=Name(id='baz', ctx=Load()),
conversion=-1),
Constant(value=' realybarno', kind='u')
```
</p>
</details>
<details><summary>3.12</summary>
<p>
```python
Constant(value='foobar ', kind='u'),
FormattedValue(
value=Name(id='baz', ctx=Load()),
conversion=-1),
Constant(value=' realybarno')
```
</p>

With the hand written parser, we were able to provide better error
messages in case of any errors such as the following but now they all
are removed and in those cases an "unexpected token" error will be
thrown by lalrpop:
* A closing delimiter was not opened properly
* An opening delimiter was not closed properly
* Empty expression not allowed
The "Too many nested expressions in an f-string" was removed and instead
we can create a lint rule for that.
And, "The f-string expression cannot include the given character" was
removed because f-strings now support those characters which are mainly
same quotes as the outer ones, escape sequences, comments, etc.
1. Refactor existing test cases to use `parse_suite` instead of
`parse_fstrings` (doesn't exists anymore)
2. Additional test cases are added as required
Updated the snapshots. The change from `parse_fstrings` to `parse_suite`
means that the snapshot would produce the module node instead of just a
list of f-string parts. I've manually verified that the parts are still
the same along with the node ranges.
