perf: grammar tower + Pratt parser + LOOKAHEAD optimization (~15% speedup)

Replace exponential-backtracking grammar with targeted optimizations:

- Add prattArithRest() Java loop for arithmetic (eliminates AddChain/MulChain method calls)
- Add prattExpressionRest() Java loop for boolean ops (eliminates XorExpression/AndChain)
- Replace LOOKAHEAD(ParenthesedFromItem()) syntactic scan with O(1) isParenthesedFromItemAhead()
  predicate — this was the root cause: it speculatively re-ran the full expression tower
  for every "(" in every FROM clause
- Gate LOOKAHEAD(5) UserVariable, LOOKAHEAD(2) NOT/PRIOR, LOOKAHEAD("(+)") Oracle join
  behind cheap token-kind checks so they don't scan on every expression
- Fix ComparisonItem: replace LOOKAHEAD(3) SimpleExpression() syntactic scan with semantic
  predicates for AnyComparisonExpression and RowConstructor
- Inline isComparisonOperatorAhead() into isConditionSuffixAhead() to eliminate redundant
  getToken(1) call on every parsed expression
- Fix isNestedSetOperationAhead() to handle arbitrary nesting depth (((SELECT) UNION ...))
- Fix isParenthesedFromItemAhead() edge cases: ((SELECT) JOIN ...), VALUES, EXASOL IMPORT
- Fix choice-conflict warnings in XorExpression/AndChain/MulChain/AddChain loops
  (outer LOOKAHEAD(2) grouping, {{ }} scoping for variable redefinition)
- Restore all previously passing tests broken by the committed 6.5ms branch

Result: 8ms → ~7ms on benchmark corpus
