Title: Understand and handle modifiers on function declarations and variable statements within blocks.

Understand and handle modifiers on function declarations and variable statements within blocks.

This ensures reusability for functions/variables that may have been outside a block, but end up
inside one afterwards. It also ensure the same tree is produced when incremental parsing.

i.e. if you have:

declare function F() { }

And you add a { above it, then we current have an incremental parsing bug. Namely we would see
a FunctionDeclaration node and say 'yes, we can reuse that node while parsing the block'. This
is currently broken because the normal parse would not have normally accepted such a node (because
of the modifiers).

This was an example of contextual parsing of the same kind of node. Something which we do not
want to do if we want incremental parsing to work properly.
