feat(parser): implement object literals to unify struct and slice syntax
Signed-off-by: erick-alcachofa <erick@artichoke.dev>

Implement support for object literals using a unified syntax for both
struct and slice initialization. Since the parser lacks the semantic
context to distinguish between a struct or a slice at this stage, both
are represented by the new `ObjectLiteral` AST node.

initialization within curly braces following a type expression:
* **Named Initializers**: Uses the `.field = value` syntax (e.g.,
  `Point { .x = 10, .y = 20 }`).
* **Positional Initializers**: Uses a comma-separated list of
  expressions (e.g., `[]i32 { 1, 2, 3 }`).

* Renamed `StructLiteral` and `SliceLiteral` nodes to `ObjectLiteral`.
* Refactored initialization helper nodes (e.g.,
  `StructLiteralNamedFieldInit` is now `ObjectLiteralNamedFieldInit`).
* Unified the representation in `Expressions.hpp` and `Literals.hpp` to
  use a single `ObjectLiteral` struct containing a `type` and an
  optional `initializer`.

* Integrated the opening brace `{` (`opLSquirly`) as a high-precedence
  postfix operator (binding power 19).
* Implemented parsing logic in `Expressions.cpp` to handle the
  transition from a type expression to an object initializer.
* Updated `toDot` and `toString` visitors to handle the unified
  `ObjectLiteral` nodes and their respective initializer variants.

* Improved robustness in `Declarations.cpp` by ensuring list parsing
  correctly handles closing braces in specific edge cases.
