[JsLIGO]: Add increment & decrement operators (`++` & `--`)

Melwyn Saldanha requested to merge melwyn95@incr_decr_ops_tsligo into dev

Motivation and Context

The prefix & postfix (increment & decrement) operators (++ && --) were missing in JsLIGO.

These operators are useful in writing for loops

Description

TODOs

  • Add grammar & CST nodes
  • Add nodes in Ast_unified
  • Nanopass
    • Compiler
    • Decompiler
  • Add expect tests for compilation & running tests
  • Add Unit tests for nanopass (compiler & decompiler)
  • Update docs on website

Component

  • compiler
  • website
  • webide
  • vscode-plugin
  • debugger

Types of changes

  • Bug fix (non-breaking change which fixes an issue)
  • New feature (non-breaking change which adds functionality)
  • Breaking change (fix or feature that would cause existing functionality to not work as expected)
  • Performance improvement (non-breaking change that improves performance)
  • None (change with no changelog)

Changelog

This MR adds to increment & decrement operators (++ && --) to JsLIGO.

For example

const testIncDec = (() => {
  let inc = 0;
  
  // Prefix increment operator
  assert(++inc == 1);

  // Postfix increment operator
  assert(inc++ == 1);
  assert(inc   == 2);

  let dec = 10;

  // Prefix decrement operator
  assert(--dec == 9);

  // Postfix decrement operator
  assert(dec-- == 9);
  assert(dec   == 8);
})();

Result

$ ligo run test x.jsligo 
Everything at the top-level was executed.
- testIncDec exited with value ().
