## Summary
This PR adds a basic README for the `ruff_python_parser` crate and
updates the CONTRIBUTING docs with the fuzzer and benchmark section.
Additionally, it also updates some inline documentation within the
parser crate and splits the `parse_program` function into
`parse_single_expression` and `parse_module` which will be called by
matching against the `Mode`.
This PR doesn't go into too much internal detail around the parser logic
due to the following reasons:
1. Where should the docs go? Should it be as a module docs in `lib.rs`
or in README?
2. The parser is still evolving and could include a lot of refactors
with the future work (feedback loop and improved error recovery and
resilience)

## Summary
This PR replaces the current parser generated from LALRPOP to a
hand-written recursive descent parser.
It also updates the grammar for [PEP
646](https://peps.python.org/pep-0646/) so that the parser outputs the
correct AST. For example, in `data[*x]`, the index expression is now a
tuple with a single starred expression instead of just a starred
expression.
Beyond the performance improvements, the parser is also error resilient
and can provide better error messages. The behavior as seen by any
downstream tools isn't changed. That is, the linter and formatter can
still assume that the parser will _stop_ at the first syntax error. This
will be updated in the following months.
For more details about the change here, refer to the PR corresponding to
the individual commits and the release blog post.
## Test Plan
Write _lots_ and _lots_ of tests for both valid and invalid syntax and
verify the output.
