Consume the COLON token: a line can hold several statements

The token has existed since the scanner was written and nothing read it, so
10 PRINT A$ : REM ... was a parse error. Leading separators are consumed
before each statement and an empty statement yields a NULL leaf rather than
an error, so a trailing colon and a run of them are both legal.

BASIC 7.0 scopes everything after THEN to the condition, which the reference
had no opinion about because it never got here. The rule is not "skip when
false": the rest of the line belongs to whichever arm was written last.

A whole FOR/NEXT on one line still does not loop -- block skipping works by
source line. Recorded in TODO.md as what group A has to fix first.
