Auto merge of #61612 - nnethercote:improve-parse_bottom_expr, r=<try>

Special-case literals in `parse_bottom_expr`.

This makes parsing faster, particularly for code with large constants,
for two reasons:
- it skips all the keyword comparisons for literals;
- it skips the allocation done by the `mk_expr` call in
  `parse_literal_maybe_minus`.
