ayazhafiz 3bbbf39b58 feat(compiler): Recover on malformed keyed reads and keyed writes (#39004)
This patch adds support for recovering well-formed (and near-complete)
ASTs for semantically malformed keyed reads and keyed writes. See the
added tests for details on the types of semantics we can now recover;
in particular, notice that some assumptions are made about the form of
a keyed read/write intended by a user. For example, in the malformed
expression `a[1 + = 2`, we assume that the user meant to write a binary
expression for the key of `a`, and assign that key the value `2`. In
particular, we now parse this as `a[1 + <empty expression>] = 2`. There
are some different interpretations that can be made here, but I think
this is reasonable.

The actual changes in the parser code are fairly minimal (a nice
surprise!); the biggest addition is a `writeContext` that marks whether
the `=` operator can serve as a recovery point after error detection.
