bpo-43833: Emit warnings for numeric literals followed by keyword

Emit a deprecation warning if the numeric literal is immediately followed by one of keywords: and, else, for, if, in, is, or. Raise a syntax error with more informative message if it is immediately followed by other keyword or identifier.

 ==========
 
+* Currently Python accepts numeric literals immediately followed by keywords,
+  for example ``0in x``, ``1or x``, ``0if 1else 2``.  It allows confusing
+  and ambigious expressions like ``[0x1for x in y]`` (which can be
+  interpreted as ``[0x1 for x in y]`` or ``[0x1f or x in y]``).  Starting in
+  this release, a deprecation warning is raised if the numeric literal is
+  immediately followed by one of keywords :keyword:`and`, :keyword:`else`,
+  :keyword:`for`, :keyword:`if`, :keyword:`in`, :keyword:`is` and :keyword:`or`.
+  If future releases it will be changed to syntax warning, and finally to
+  syntax error.

+Changes in the Python syntax
+----------------------------
+
+* Deprecation warning is now emitted when compile previously valid syntax
+  if the numeric literal is immediately followed by keyword (like in ``0in x``).
+  If future releases it will be changed to syntax warning, and finally to
+  syntax error.  To get rid of the warning and make the code compatible with
+  future releases just add a space between the numeric literal and the
+  following keyword.
