tentative patch

This removes the recursion cycle
"cp_parser_statement -> cp_parser_labeled_statement -> cp_parser_statement"
but it does not at this moment solve the whole problem because recursion of the
form "cp_parser_statement -> cp_parser_statement" still occurs.  With a minor
change, the two new calls in the patch to cp_parser_statement from itself could
be replaced with "goto restart;" to hard-code the obvious tail recursion
opportunity.  I may try that later.  For now, this patch is being tested (by
Eric Christopher at Apple) and I hope we'll get good results with it.
