Add ParseExpr function to parser package

[Copilot]

The parser package lacked a direct way to parse standalone expressions—only ClassAds could be parsed via ParseClassAd.

Changes

• Grammar: Extended start rule to accept expr in addition to classad, allowing bare expressions like 2 + 3 to parse successfully
• New function: Added ParseExpr(input string) (ast.Expr, error) for expression-only parsing
• Documentation: Updated Parse to clarify it accepts both ClassAds and expressions; updated ParseClassAd to note it rejects non-ClassAd input
• Error handling: Improved ParseClassAd to return descriptive errors (e.g., "parsed input is not a ClassAd, got *ast.BinaryOp") instead of (nil, nil)
• Tests: Added 23 test cases covering literals, operators, function calls, conditionals, and error cases

Usage

// Parse standalone expressions
expr, err := parser.ParseExpr("2 + 3 * 4")           // ✓ returns BinaryOp
expr, err := parser.ParseExpr(`strcat("a", "b")`)    // ✓ returns FunctionCall
expr, err := parser.ParseExpr("{1, 2, 3}")           // ✓ returns ListLiteral

// ParseClassAd now properly rejects expressions
ad, err := parser.ParseClassAd("2 + 3")              // ✗ error: not a ClassAd
ad, err := parser.ParseClassAd("[x = 1]")            // ✓ returns ClassAd

// Parse accepts both
node, _ := parser.Parse("2 + 3")                     // ✓ returns ast.Expr
node, _ := parser.Parse("[x = 1]")                   // ✓ returns *ast.ClassAd

Note: Grammar now has 2 reduce/reduce conflicts due to ambiguity between classad and expr for record literals like [a = 1]. The parser resolves this correctly by preferring the first production (classad).
