[syntax-errors] Named expressions in decorators before Python 3.9 (#16386)
Summary
--

This PR detects the relaxed grammar for decorators proposed in [PEP
614](https://peps.python.org/pep-0614/) on Python 3.8 and lower.

The 3.8 grammar for decorators is
[here](https://docs.python.org/3.8/reference/compound_stmts.html#grammar-token-decorators):

```
decorators                ::=  decorator+
decorator                 ::=  "@" dotted_name ["(" [argument_list [","]] ")"] NEWLINE
dotted_name               ::=  identifier ("." identifier)*
```

in contrast to the current grammar
[here](https://docs.python.org/3/reference/compound_stmts.html#grammar-token-python-grammar-decorators)

```
decorators                ::= decorator+
decorator                 ::= "@" assignment_expression NEWLINE
assignment_expression ::= [identifier ":="] expression
```

Ruff Python Parser

Ruff's Python parser is a hand-written recursive descent parser which can parse Python source code into an Abstract Syntax Tree (AST). It also utilizes the Pratt parsing technique to parse expressions with different precedence.

Try out the parser in the playground.

Python version support

The parser supports the latest Python syntax, which is currently Python 3.12. It does not throw syntax errors if it encounters a syntax feature that is not supported by the target-version. This will be fixed in a future release (see https://github.com/astral-sh/ruff/issues/6591).
