For parts of the input that are delimited by start and end tokens, our
typical pattern is to keep scanning for items until we reach the end token,
or to generate an error if we encounter a token that isn't valid.
In some common examples of that we'll now treat TokenEOF as special and
report a different message about the element being unclosed, because it
seems common in practice for folks to leave off closing delimiters and
then be confused about HCL reporting a parse error at the end of the
file. Instead, we'll now report the error from the perspective of the
opening token(s) and describe that construct as "unclosed", because the
EOF range is generally less useful than any range that actually contains
some relevant characters.
This is not totally comprehensive for all cases, but covers some
situations that I've seen folks ask about, and some others that were
similar enough to those that it was easy to modify them in the same ways.
This does actually change one of the error ranges constrained by the
specification test suite, but in practice we're not actually using that
test suite to represent the "specification" for HCL, so it's better to
change the hypothetical specification to call for a better error reporting
behavior than to retain the old behavior just because we happened to
encoded in the (unfinished) test suite.

This relaxes our previous spec to include a special form from HCL 1:
foo { bar = baz }
Although we normally require each argument to be on a line of its own, as
a special case we allow a block to be defined with a single nested
argument all on one line.
Only one nested argument definition is allowed, and a nested block
definition like "foo { bar {} }" is also disallowed in order to force the
more-readable split of bar {} onto a line of its own.
This is a pragmatic addition for broader compatibility with HCL 1-oriented
input. This single-line usage is not considered idiomatic HCL 2 and may
in future be undone by the formatter, though for now it is left as-is
aside from the spacing around the braces.
This also changes the behavior of the source code formatter to include
spaces on both sides of braces. This mimicks the formatting behavior of
HCL 1 for this situation, and (subjectively) reads better even for other
one-line braced expressions like object constructors and object for
expressions.

This is still not fully comprehensive, but tests some basic functionality.

When a test file declares one or more expected diagnostics, we check those
instead of checking the result value. The severities and source ranges
must match.
We don't test the error messages themselves because they are not part of
the specification and may vary between implementations or, in future, be
translated into other languages.
