diagnostics: don't crash because of repeated definitions of error
According to https://www.unix.com/man-page/POSIX/1posix/yacc/, the
user is allowed to specify her user number for the error token:
The token error shall be reserved for error handling. The name
error can be used in grammar rules. It indicates places where the
parser can recover from a syntax error. The default value of error
shall be 256. Its value can be changed using a %token
declaration. The lexical analyzer should not return the value of
error.
I think this feature is useless, the user should not have to deal with
that. The intend is probably to give the user a means to use 256 if
she wants to, but provided "error" cleared the path first by being
assigned another number. In the case of Bison, 256 is assigned to
"error" at the end if the user did not use it for a token of hers. So
this feature is useless.
Yet it is valid, and if the user assigns twice a token number to
"error", then the second time we want to complain about it and want to
show the original definition. At this point, we try to display the
built-in definition of "error", whose location is NULL, and we crash.
Rather, the location of the first user definition of "error" should
become its defining location.

* src/symtab.c (symbol_class_set): If this is a declaration and the
symbol was not declared yet, keep this as defining location.
* tests/input.at (Redefining the error token): New.
