Re-work the parser from scratch

The initial implementation was incredibly naive on how complex an
assembler can actually be. Because of this, it never bothered to define
and produce a proper AST, and hence it was overall extremely fragile on
(not so) corner cases.

This commit re-writes everything from scratch for the parser, and it
should really be the last fundamental change to the parser other than
minor additions/features here and there.
