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).

// Value-carrying `catch` rejection (ERR step E2.1b): when the failable LHS
// carries a value, a non-diverging catch handler must produce a value of the
// success type — a value-less (void) body is a type error (otherwise the
// success and error paths couldn't merge to one value). Diverge instead
// (`return` / `raise`) or yield a value. Positives: `examples/229-value-failable-consume.sx`.
