Support nested record field access without parentheses

Original patch from YAMASHINA Hio posted to erlang-patches@

Only had to do minor changes to port the patch to the
current R14A development tree.

Also added compiler/record_SUITE:nested_access/2 to test
nested record access with or without parentheses.

With this change the following will work.

-record(nrec0, {name = <<"nested0">>}).
-record(nrec1, {name = <<"nested1">>, nrec0=#nrec0{}}).
-record(nrec2, {name = <<"nested2">>, nrec1=#nrec1{}}).

nested_access() ->
    N0 = #nrec0{},
    N1 = #nrec1{},
    N2 = #nrec2{},
    <<"nested0">> = N0#nrec0.name,
    <<"nested1">> = N1#nrec1.name,
    <<"nested2">> = N2#nrec2.name,
    <<"nested0">> = N1#nrec1.nrec0#nrec0.name,
    <<"nested0">> = N2#nrec2.nrec1#nrec1.nrec0#nrec0.name,
    <<"nested1">> = N2#nrec2.nrec1#nrec1.name,
    <<"nested0">> = ((N2#nrec2.nrec1)#nrec1.nrec0)#nrec0.name,

    N1a = N2#nrec2.nrec1#nrec1{name = <<"nested1a">>},
    <<"nested1a">> = N1a#nrec1.name,

    N2a = N2#nrec2.nrec1#nrec1.nrec0#nrec0{name = <<"nested0a">>},
    N2b = ((N2#nrec2.nrec1)#nrec1.nrec0)#nrec0{name = <<"nested0a">>},
    <<"nested0a">> = N2a#nrec0.name,
    N2a = N2b,
    ok.
