Fix macro parser quadratic complexity in small repeating groups

Observed in #51754, and more easily demonstrated with the following:

```rust
macro_rules! stress {
    ($($t:tt)+) => { };
}

fn main() {
    stress!{
        a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
        a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
        a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
        a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
        //    ... 65536 copies of "a" total ...
        a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
        a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
        a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
        a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a a
    }
}
```
which takes 50 seconds to compile prior to the fix and <1s after.

I hope this has a visible impact on the compile times for real code.  (I think it is most likely to affect incremental TT munchers that deal with large inputs, though it depends on how they are written)

There is no test (yet) because I'm not sure how easily to measure this for regressions.
