libsyntax: Refactor `parser.rs` into reasonably sized logical units

Here we split `parser.rs` (~7.9 KLOC) into more reasonably sized files (all < 1.8 KLOC):

- `./src/libsyntax/parse/`
   - `parser.rs`
   - `parser/`
      - `pat.rs`
      - `expr.rs`
      - `stmt.rs`
      - `ty.rs`
      - `path.rs`
      - `generics.rs`
      - `item.rs`
      - `module.rs`

Closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/60015.
