Precedence parsing (#1362)

* Initial prototype

* Update docs
Remove unused code

* More doc updates

* Add feature flags for Vec

* Add basic tests

* Fix formatting

* Add precedence to choosing_a_combinator.md

* Fix typo

* Minor refractoring

* Update docs

* Change parameter order

* Add alloc feature to the entire precedence module

The parser really cant work without it and the helpers dont make much sense without the parser.

* Use fail parser to express "no operators of this type"

* Document evaluation order

* Better documentation for parameters

* Fix precedence in documentation

* Fix doc formatting

* Fix typos

* Use map_res when parsing integers

* Example test for expressions with function calls and AST generation

* Typo

* Make evaluation a bit easier to read

* Update expression_ast

* Update expression_ast doc

* Implement ternary operator in expression_ast

* Shorten ast nodes

* Implement some tests for parser failures

* Update feature flags for docs

* Properly append errors

* Properly bubble up non Error errors

* Split operators into 3 distinct types to help with exhaustiveness checks.
