Teach this script to handle function pointer fields honestly. Previously they were just silently ignored, but that's not likely to be a behavior we can accept indefinitely. This mostly entails fixing it so that a field declaration spanning multiple lines can be parsed, because we have a bunch of such fields that're laid out that way. But that's a good improvement in its own right. With that change and a minor regex adjustment, the only struct it fails to parse in the node-defining headers is A_Const, because of the embedded union. The path of least resistance is to move that union declaration outside the struct. Having done those things, we can make it error out if it finds any within-struct syntax it doesn't understand, which seems like a pretty important property for robustness. This commit doesn't change the output files at all; it's just in the way of future-proofing. Discussion: https://postgr.es/m/2593369.1657759779@sss.pgh.pa.us
