Use string literal directly when available in format

Previous implementation used the `Parser::parse_expr` function in order
to extract the format expression. If the first comma following the
format expression was mistakenly replaced with a dot, then the next
format expression was eaten by the function, because it looked as a
syntactically valid expression, which resulted in incorrectly spanned
error messages.

The way the format expression is exctracted is changed: we first look at
the first available token in the first argument supplied to the
`format!` macro call. If it is a string literal, then it is promoted as
a format expression immediatly, otherwise we fall back to the original
`parse_expr`-related method.

This allows us to ensure that the parser won't consume too much tokens
when a typo is made.

A test has been created so that it is ensured that the issue is properly
fixed.
