agra 83ec2536af lang: catch/onfail error bindings take parens
try foo() catch (e) { }   // legal
try foo() catch e { }     // parse error with a migration hint

Same capture style as the for-loop. All four catch shapes keep working
with the parenthesized binding — block, bare-expression body, and the
== match sugar — and the no-binding forms are unchanged. onfail follows
the same rule (onfail (e) { }); its expression-cleanup form is
disambiguated by the paren-group-before-brace lookahead, so
onfail (f()); stays an expression cleanup.

AST unchanged; the printer renders the parens; the #run escape help
text updated. Corpus migrated (57 catch + 3 onfail bindings, in-source
parser test strings, specs incl. grammar rules, readme untouched —
no catch examples there).

Regression: examples/1157-diagnostics-catch-binding-needs-parens.sx;
re-captured stderr for 1010/1013/1037/1123 (migrated source echoed in
carets + help text).

// A braced `defer { … }` body parses as a full statement block (like `onfail`),
// so it supports every statement form — a destructure decl, a `catch`-statement,
// nested var decls — not just a single bare expression. Previously `defer { … }`
// routed through the expression parser and rejected those with "expected ';'".
//
// Regression (issue 0065).
