Implement panic expression (#7073)
## Description

This PR introduces the `panic` expression to the language, as defined in
the [ABI Errors
RFC](https://github.com/FuelLabs/sway-rfcs/blob/master/rfcs/0014-abi-errors.md#panic).

The `panic` expression can be used without arguments, or accept an
argument that implements the `std::marker::Error` trait. The `Error`
trait is implemented by the compiler for the unit `()`, string slices,
and `#[error_type]` enums.

Using the `panic` expression without arguments gives the symetry with
the `return` expression and acts in the same way as having unit as an
argument.

```
panic;
panic ();
panic "This is some error.";
panic Errors::SomeError(42);
```

Panicking without an argument or with unit as argument is discouraged to
use. In the upcoming PR that finalizes the ABI errors feature, we will
emit a warning if the `panic` is used without arguments or with unit as
argument.

`panic` expression is available in all program kinds. In predicates it
currently compiles only to revert. Once `__dbg` intrinsic is
implemented, we can consider compiling to it in predicates. In the
upcoming PR, the `error_codes` entry in the ABI JSON will be available
for all program kinds.

The dead code analysis for the `panic` expression is implemented in the
straightforward way, following the current approach of connecting
reverts to the exit node. This will be revisted in a separate PR,
together with the open TODOs in the DCA implementation of `Return`.
Essentially, we want reverting/panicking to connect to program exit and
implicit returns to the exit node.

Additionally, the PR:
- extends `forc test` CLI attributes with `--revert-codes` that prints
revert codes even if tests are successful but revert.
- updates outdated "Logs Inside Tests" chapter in the documentation on
unit testing.
- extends the snapshot testing infrastructure to support `forc test` in
snapshot tests.
- fixes #7072.

Partially addresses #6765.

## Breaking Change

`panic` is a new reserved keyword. Once the `error_type` feature becomes
integrated, compiling any existing code containing a "panic" as an
identifier will result in an "Identifiers cannot be a reserved keyword."
error.

In this PR, `panic` keyword is hidden behind the `error_type` feature
flag. This prevents existing code from breaking, unless opted-in.

Note that, although being behind a feature flag, `panic` cannot be used
in conditional compilation, means in combination with the
`#[cfg(experimental_error_type = true/false)]`. The reason is that `cfg`
evaluation happens after parsing, and we can either parse `panic` as a
keyword or identifier during the parsing, because we cannot distinguish
ambiguous cases like `panic;` or just `panic`.

This limitation means, that introducing `panic` to `std` can be done
only once the `error_type` feature is fully integrated. In practice,
this is not a serious limitation, because introducing `panic` in `std`
would anyhow, due to effort and design decisions, happen after the
feature is integrated.

We will provide a migration for this breaking change that will migrate
the existing "panic" identifiers to "r#panic".
