Support for raw str/bytes already exists, and extending that to raw
f-strings is easy. It also reduces code size because it eliminates an
error message.

This is quite a simple and small change to support concatenation of
adjacent f-strings, and improve compatibility with CPython.

In CPython 3.12 these invalid str/bytes/fstring escapes will issue a
SyntaxWarning, and so differ to MicroPython.

PEP-498 allows for conversion specifiers like !r and !s to convert the
expression declared in braces to be passed through repr() and str()
respectively.
This updates the logic that detects the end of the expression to also stop
when it sees "![rs]" that is either at the end of the f-string or before
the ":" indicating the start of the format specifier. The "![rs]" is now
retained in the format string, whereas previously it stayed on the end
of the expression leading to a syntax error.
Previously: `f"{x!y:z}"` --> `"{:z}".format(x!y)`
Now: `f"{x!y:z}"` --> `"{!y:z}".format(x)`
Note that "!a" is not supported by `str.format` as MicroPython has no
`ascii()`, but now this will raise the correct error.
Updated cpydiff and added tests.

This is important for literal tuples, e.g.
f"{a,b,}, {c}" --> "{}".format((a,b), (c),)
which would otherwise result in either a syntax error or the wrong result.
Fixes issue #9635.

This feature {x=} was introduced in Python 3.8 so needs a separate .exp
file to run on earlier Python versions.

This implements (most of) the PEP-498 spec for f-strings and is based on
https://github.com/micropython/micropython/pull/4998 by @klardotsh.
It is implemented in the lexer as a syntax translation to `str.format`:
f"{a}" --> "{}".format(a)
It also supports:
f"{a=}" --> "a={}".format(a)
This is done by extracting the arguments into a temporary vstr buffer,
then after the string has been tokenized, the lexer input queue is saved
and the contents of the temporary vstr buffer are injected into the lexer
instead.
There are four main limitations:
- raw f-strings (`fr` or `rf` prefixes) are not supported and will raise
`SyntaxError: raw f-strings are not supported`.
- literal concatenation of f-strings with adjacent strings will fail
"{}" f"{a}" --> "{}{}".format(a) (str.format will incorrectly use
the braces from the non-f-string)
f"{a}" f"{a}" --> "{}".format(a) "{}".format(a) (cannot concatenate)
- PEP-498 requires the full parser to understand the interpolated
argument, however because this entirely runs in the lexer it cannot
resolve nested braces in expressions like
f"{'}'}"
- The !r, !s, and !a conversions are not supported.
Includes tests and cpydiffs.
