Change goyacc to be reentrant.

Instead of calling the package scope Lex function,
Parse now takes an argument which is used to
do the lexing.
I reverted to having the generated switch
code inside Parse rather than a separate function because
the function needs 7 arguments or a context structure,
which seems unnecessary.
I used yyrun(), not the original $A so that
it's possible to run the backquoted code through gofmt.

......@@ -19,5 +19,18 @@ The file units.y in this directory is a yacc grammar for a version of
the Unix tool units, also written in Go and largely transliterated
from the Plan 9 C version.
The generated parser is reentrant. Parse expects to be given an
argument that conforms to the following interface:
type yyLexer interface {
Lex(lval *yySymType) int
}
Lex should return the token identifier, and place other token
information in lval (which replaces the usual yylval).
Code inside the parser may refer to the variable yylex
which holds the yyLexer passed to Parse.
