erl_parse: Use a new pat_expr rule for pattern expressions
In the grammar file for the Erlang language, patterns are parsed as expressions. erl_lint will then weed out expressions that are not legal patterns. The rule sharing causes problems if we were to introduce new syntax, for example a pattern followed by a ':'. There would be a shift/reduce conflict, and a pattern followed by a ':' would be parsed as a remote call. Introduce a new pat_expr rule to express exactly the subset of expressions that is allowed in pattern. Note: For the moment, we must allow full expressions in case clauses to keep 'merl' working.
