[#1718][JsLIGO]: Fix automatic semicolon insertion for if-else statements

Melwyn Saldanha requested to merge fix/jsligo-asi-if-else into dev

Motivation and Context

There was a bug in JsLIGO ASI where we would add a semi-colon after ) & else if there was a \n (new-line character) after them.

this is syntax error for valid JS/TS code like

...
if (cond); <- inserted by ASI
return value
...

Description

This MR fix the issue by detecting the above mentioned cases & not adding a semi-colon in those cases.

Fixes #1718 (closed)

Changelog

For a JsLIGO file like

export const foo = (b: bool) => {
  if (b) 
      return 42
  else
    return 21
}

Before

$ ligo.62 compile expression jsligo foo --init-file y.jsligo 
File "y.jsligo", line 2, characters 9-8:
  1 | export const foo = (b: bool) => {
  2 |   if (b) \n
  3 |       return 42
Ill-formed conditional statement.
At this point, the statement executed when the condition is true is
expected.

After

$ ligo compile expression jsligo foo --init-file y.jsligo
{ IF { PUSH int 42 } { PUSH int 21 } }
