feat: improve error messages for ambiguous 3.toDecmial syntax (#10488)
This PR changes the way that scientific numerals are parsed in order to
give better error messages for (invalid) syntax like `32.succ`.

Example:

```lean4
#check 32.succ
```

Before, the error message is:

```
unexpected identifier; expected command
```

This is because `32.` parses as a complete float, and `#check 32.`
parses as a complete command, so `succ` is being read as the start of a
new command.

With this change, the error message will move from the `succ` token to
the `32` token (which isn't totally ideal from my perspective) but gives
a less misleading error message and corresponding suggestion:

```
unexpected identifier after decimal point; consider parenthesizing the number
```
