To eliminate parsing differences between Windows and other platforms,
the frontend now normalizes all CRLF line endings to LF, like [in
Rust](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/62865).
Effects:
- This makes Lake hashes be faithful to what Lean sees (Lake already
normalizes line endings before computing hashes).
- Docstrings now have normalized line endings. In particular, this fixes
`#guard_msgs` failing multiline tests for Windows users using CRLF.
- Now strings don't have different lengths depending on the platform.
Before this PR, the following theorem is true for LF and false for CRLF
files.
```lean
example : "
".length = 1 := rfl
```
Note: the normalization will take `\r\r\n` and turn it into `\r\n`. In
the elaborator, we reject loose `\r`'s that appear in whitespace. Rust
instead takes the approach of making the normalization routine fail.
They do this so that there's no downstream confusion about any `\r\n`
that appears.
Implementation note: the LSP maintains its own copy of a source file
that it updates when edit operations are applied. We are assuming that
edit operations never split or join CRLFs. If this assumption is not
correct, then the LSP copy of a source file can become slightly out of
sync. If this is an issue, there is some discussion
[here](https://github.com/leanprover/lean4/pull/3903#discussion_r1592930085).
Go-to-def on `@[builtin_term_parser]` should go to the line
```lean
builtin_initialize registerBuiltinParserAttribute `builtin_term_parser ``Category.term
```
not
```lean
/-- `term` is the builtin syntax category for terms. ... -/
def term : Category := {}
```
Adds a simple error-recovery mechanism to Lean's parser, similar to
those used in other combinator parsing libraries.
Lean itself isn't very amenable to error recovery with this mechanism,
as it requires global knowledge of the grammar in question to write
recovery rules that don't break backtracking or `<|>`. I only found a
few opportunities.
But for DSLs, this is really important. In particular, Verso parse
errors interacted very badly with Lean parse errors in a way that
required frequent "restart file" commands, but this mechanism allows me
to both recover from Verso parse errors and to have Lean skip the rest
of the file rather than repeatedly trying to parse it as Lean commands.
It allow us to process `open .. in ..` while parsing.
This is useful for activating a scoped parser while parsing.
TODO: `openOnly` and `openHiding`, these two cases are rarely used
with `open .. in ..`
