text/template: allow .Field access to parenthesized expressions

Change the grammar so that field access is a proper operator.
This introduces a new node, ChainNode, into the public (but
actually internal) API of text/template/parse. For
compatibility, we only use the new node type for the specific
construct, which was not parseable before. Therefore this
should be backward-compatible.

Before, .X.Y was a token in the lexer; this CL breaks it out
into .Y applied to .X. But for compatibility we mush them
back together before delivering. One day we might remove
that hack; it's the simple TODO in parse.go/operand.

This change also provides grammatical distinction between
        f
and
        (f)
which might permit function values later, but not now.

Fixes #3999.
