Breaking tokens into pieces should behave similar to Parser::bump.

Previously when breaking tokens into smaller pieces, the replace_token
function have been used. It replaced current token and updated span
information, but it did not clear the list of expected tokens, neither
did it update remaining info about last token. This could lead to
incorrect error message, like one described in the issue #24780:

  expected one of ... `>` ...  found `>`
