gh-115528: Update language reference for PEP 646 (#121181)

Browse Source 
To recap: the objective is to make starred expressions valid in `subscription`,
which is used for generics: `Generic[...]`, `list[...]`, etc.

What _is_ gramatically valid in such contexts? Seemingly any of the following.
(At least, none of the following throw `SyntaxError` in a 3.12.3 REPL.)

    Generic[x]
    Generic[*x]
    Generic[*x, y]
    Generic[y, *x]
    Generic[x := 1]
    Generic[x := 1, y := 2]

So introducting

    flexible_expression: expression | assignment_expression | starred_item

end then switching `subscription` to use `flexible_expression` sorts that.

But then we need to field `yield` - for which any of the following are
apparently valid:

    yield x
    yield x,
    yield x, y
    yield *x,
    yield *x, *y

Introducing a separate `yield_list` is the simplest way I've been figure out to
do this - separating out the special case of `starred_item ,`.
