I'm creating this draft PR, since I wanted to have some early feedback, and because I though I would have time to finish it last week, but I got caught up with other stuff. Feel free to contribute :)
The main thing here is that I have divided `eval()`, `parse()` and similar functions so that they can decide if they are parsing scripts or modules. Let me know your thoughts.
Then, I was checking the import & export parsing, and I noticed we are using `TokenKind::Identifier` for `IdentifierName`, so I changed that name. An `Identifier` is an `IdentifierName` that isn't a `ReservedWord`. This means we should probably also adapt all `IdentifierReference`, `BindingIdentifier` and so on parsing. I already created an `Identifier` parser.
Something interesting there is that `await` is not a valid `Identifier` if the goal symbol is `Module`, as you can see in the [spec](https://tc39.es/ecma262/#prod-LabelIdentifier), but currently we don't have that information in the `InputElement` enumeration, we only have `Div`, `RegExp` and `TemplateTail`. How could we approach this?

Slightly related to #2411 since we need an API to pass module files, but more useful for #1760, #1313 and other error reporting issues.
It changes the following:
- Introduces a new `Source` API to store the path of a provided file or `None` if the source is a plain string.
- Improves the display of `boa_tester` to show the path of the tests being run. This also enables hyperlinks to directly jump to the tested file from the VS terminal.
- Adjusts the repo to this change.
Hopefully, this will improve our error display in the future.
This should hopefully improve our compilation times, both from a clean build and from an incremental compilation snapshot.
Next would be the parser, but it imports `Context`, so it'll require a bit more work.
The number of file changes is obviously big, but almost nothing was changed, I just moved everything to another crate and readjusted the imports of the `parser` module. (Though, I did have to change some details, because there were some functions on the ast that returned `ParseError`s, and the tests had to be moved to the parser)
This Pull Request closes no specific issue, but allows for analysis and post-processing passes by both internal and external developers.
It changes the following:
- Adds a Visitor trait, to be implemented by visitors of a particular node type.
- Adds `Type`Visitor traits which offer access to private members of a node.
- Adds an example which demonstrates the use of Visitor traits by walking over an AST and printing its contents.
At this time, the PR is more of a demonstration of intent rather than a full PR. Once it's in a satisfactory state, I'll mark it as not a draft.
