Fix the precedence of NOT LIKE

NOT LIKE has the same precedence as the LIKE operator. The parser was
previously assigning it the precedence of the unary NOT operator. NOT
BETWEEN and NOT IN are treated similarly, as they are equivalent, from a
precedence perspective, to NOT LIKE.

The fix for this requires associating precedences with sequences of
tokens, rather than single tokens, so that "NOT LIKE" and "NOT <expr>"
can have different preferences. Perhaps surprisingly, this change is not
very invasive.

An alternative I considered involved adjusting the tokenizer to lex
NOT, NOT LIKE, NOT BETWEEN, and NOT IN as separate tokens. This broke
symmetry in strange ways, though, as NotLike, NotBetween, and NotIn
gained dedicated tokens, while LIKE, BETWEEN, and IN remained as
stringly identifiers.

Fixes #81.
