Special-case literals in parse_bottom_expr.

This makes parsing faster, particularly for code with large constants,
for two reasons:
- it skips all the keyword comparisons for literals;
- it replaces the unnecessary `parse_literal_maybe_minus` call with
  `parse_lit`, avoiding an unnecessary allocation via `mk_expr`.
