Switch the formatter to use `lalrpop` #789

This would be the first step towards making the formatter fully functional.

Let's postpone the work on this until we have a full plan for how the formatter should look like.

Another option that might be easier to achieve in the short-term could be to take advantage of our tree-sitter grammar with topiary?

I haven't used topiary personally, but it sounds like it's designed to act as a universal formatter for languages with tree-sitter grammars :monocle_face: and tweag have a pretty wicked team and track record. Our tree-sitter grammar might be a little less stable as it's mostly just enough to get syntax highlighting going, but maybe that's enough for formatting too and could be worth investigating at least.
