Add a parser-combinator crate

Parser-combinators are one of the simpler tools for building ad-hoc
parsers. They're a good fit because they are...

* Small: each parser / parser-combinator is around 10 LOC.
* Functional: helix_core strives to be a functional set of utilities
  usable throughout the rest of the editor.
* Flexible: use them to build any sort of ad-hoc parser. In the child
  commit, we'll parse LSP Snippet syntax using these new parser
  combinators.

Why not use an existing parser-combinator crate? Existing popular
parser-combinator crates have histories of making breaking changes
(for example nom and combine).

//! Parser-combinator functions
//!
//! This module provides parsers and parser combinators which can be used
//! together to build parsers by functional composition.
use regex::Regex;
// This module implements parser combinators following https://bodil.lol/parser-combinators/.
// `sym` (trait implementation for `&'static str`), `map`, `pred` (filter), `one_or_more`,
// `zero_or_more`, as well as the `Parser` trait originate mostly from that post.
// The remaining parsers and parser combinators are either based on
// https://github.com/archseer/snippets.nvim/blob/a583da6ef130d2a4888510afd8c4e5ffd62d0dce/lua/snippet/parser.lua#L5-L138
// or are novel.
// When a parser matches the input successfully, it returns `Ok((next_input, some_value))`
// where the type of the returned value depends on the parser. If the parser fails to match,
// it returns `Err(input)`.

///
/// Parser-combinators compose multiple parsers together to parse input.
/// For example, two basic parsers (`&'static str`s) may be combined with
/// a parser-combinator like [or] to produce a new parser.
///
/// ```
/// use helix_parsec::{or, Parser};
/// let foo = "foo"; // matches "foo" literally
/// let bar = "bar"; // matches "bar" literally
