py/compile: Implement PEP 526, syntax for variable annotations.

This addition to the grammar was introduced in Python 3.6.  It allows
annotating the type of a varilable, like:

    x: int = 123
    s: str

The implementation in this commit is quite simple and just ignores the
annotation (the int and str bits above).  The reason to implement this is
to allow Python 3.6+ code that uses this feature to compile under
MicroPython without change, and for users to use type checkers.

In the future viper could use this syntax as a way to give types to
variables, which is currently done in a bit of an ad-hoc way, eg
x = int(123).  And this syntax could potentially be used in the inline
assembler to define labels in an way that's easier to read.
