doc: clean up naming of various Bison files.
The Bison manual's names for various files associated with a Bison
parser has devolved into inconsistency. This patch makes the
naming consistent for the most important files. First, it chooses
"grammar file" over "input file". The former appears to be more
traditional in the Bison manual, and Bison has other input
files (skeletons). Second, it chooses "parser implementation
file" over names like "parser file", "parser source file", "parser
source code file", and "parser output file". The new name makes
it clearer where Bison generates the main parser implementation,
and it is easily distinguishable from "parser header file".

Do not allow identifiers that start with a dash.
This cleans up our previous fixes for a bug whereby Bison
discarded `.field' in `$-1.field'. The previous fixes were less
restrictive about where a dash could appear in an identifier, but
the restrictions were hard to explain. That bug was reported and
this final fix was originally suggested by Paul Hilfinger. This
also fixes a remaining bug reported by Paul Eggert whereby Bison
parses `%token ID -123' as `%token ID - 123' and handles `-' as an
identifier. Now, `-' cannot be an identifier. Discussed in

Improve error messages for `$' or `@' followed by `.' or `-'.
Previously, for this special case of an invalid reference, the
usual "symbol not found in production:" was printed. However,
because the symbol name was parsed as the empty string, that
message was followed immediately by a newline instead of a symbol
name. In reality, this is a syntax error, so the reference is
invalid regardless of the symbols actually appearing in the
production. Discussed at
