In struct yy_parser, change lex_flags to a U8, from part of a bitfield.

lex_flags holds 4 flag bits, with multiple flag bits manipulated together
at times, so they can't be split out into individual bitfields. This change
permits the C compiler to generate simpler code, reducing toke.o by about
400 bytes on this platform, but doesn't change the size of the structure.

lex_flags was added in commit 802a15e9c01d1a0b in August 2011, so is not in
any stable release.
