Rollup merge of #88690 - m-ou-se:macro-braces-dot-question-expr-parse, r=nagisa
Accept `m!{ .. }.method()` and `m!{ .. }?` statements.

This PR fixes something that I keep running into when using `quote!{}.into()` in a proc macro to convert the `proc_macro2::TokenStream` to a `proc_macro::TokenStream`:

Before:

```
error: expected expression, found `.`
 --> src/lib.rs:6:6
  |
4 |     quote! {
5 |         ...
6 |     }.into()
  |      ^ expected expression
```

After:
```
```
(No output, compiles fine.)

Context:

For expressions like `{ 1 }` and `if true { 1 } else { 2 }`, we accept them as full statements without a trailing `;`, which means the following is not accepted:

```rust
{ 1 } - 1 // error
```

since that is parsed as two statements: `{ 1 }` and `-1`. Syntactically correct, but the type of `{ 1 }` should be `()` as there is no `;`.

However, for specifically `.` and `?` after the `}`, we do [continue parsing it as an expression](13db8440bb/compiler/rustc_parse/src/parser/expr.rs (L864-L876)):

```rust
{ "abc" }.len(); // ok
```

For braced macro invocations, we do not do this:

```rust
vec![1, 2, 3].len(); // ok
vec!{1, 2, 3}.len(); // error
```

(It parses `vec!{1, 2, 3}` as a full statement, and then complains about `.len()` not being a valid expression.)

This PR changes this to also look for a `.` and `?` after a braced macro invocation. We can be sure the macro is an expression and not a full statement in those cases, since no statement can start with a `.` or `?`.
