The spec explains later in the "Operator precedence" section that *
has a higher precedence than +, but the current production rule
requires that "1 + 2 * 3" be parsed as "(1 + 2) * 3", instead of the
intended "1 + (2 * 3)".
The new production rule better matches cmd/internal/gc/go.y's grammar:
expr:
uexpr
| expr LOROR expr
| expr LANDAND expr
| ...
Fixes #10151.
