Precedence improvements: closures and jumps
This PR fixes some cases where rustc's pretty printers would redundantly parenthesize expressions that didn't need it.
<table>
<tr><th>Before</th><th>After</th></tr>
<tr><td><code>return (|x: i32| x)</code></td><td><code>return |x: i32| x</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code>(|| -> &mut () { std::process::abort() }).clone()</code></td><td><code>|| -> &mut () { std::process::abort() }.clone()</code></td></tr>
<tr><td><code>(continue) + 1</code></td><td><code>continue + 1</code></td></tr>
</table>
Tested by `echo "fn main() { let _ = $AFTER; }" | rustc -Zunpretty=expanded /dev/stdin`.
The pretty-printer aims to render the syntax tree as it actually exists in rustc, as faithfully as possible, in Rust syntax. It can insert parentheses where forced by Rust's grammar in order to preserve the meaning of a macro-generated syntax tree, for example in the case of `a * $rhs` where $rhs is `b + c`. But for any expression parsed from source code, without a macro involved, there should never be a reason for inserting additional parentheses not present in the original.
For closures and jumps (return, break, continue, yield, do yeet, become) the unneeded parentheses came from the precedence of some of these expressions being misidentified. In the same order as the table above:
- Jumps and closures are supposed to have equal precedence. The [Rust Reference](https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.83.0/reference/expressions.html#expression-precedence) says so, and in Syn they do. There is no Rust syntax that would require making a precedence distinction between jumps and closures. But in rustc these were previously 2 distinct levels with the closure being lower, hence the parentheses around a closure inside a jump (but not a jump inside a closure).
- When a closure is written with an explicit return type, the grammar [requires](https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.83.0/reference/expressions/closure-expr.html) that the closure body consists of exactly one block expression, not any other arbitrary expression as usual for closures. Parsing of the closure body does not continue after the block expression. So in `|| { 0 }.clone()` the clone is inside the closure body and applies to `{ 0 }`, whereas in `|| -> _ { 0 }.clone()` the clone is outside and applies to the closure as a whole.
- Continue never needs parentheses. It was previously marked as having the lowest possible precedence but it should have been the highest, next to paths and loops and function calls, not next to jumps.

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
