When making the changes to remove backticks in eb2f70fdbf32, the _PyParser_TokenNames table was incorrectly updated.  Now the indexes into _PyParser_TokenNames don't match the token numbers.  This can be seen in the output of 'python -d':

   $ echo '2 << 1' | ./python -d | grep Token
   ...
   Token NUMBER/'2' ... It's a token we know
   Token RIGHTSHIFT/'<<' ... It's a token we know
   Token NUMBER/'1' ... It's a token we know
   Token NEWLINE/'' ... It's a token we know
   Token NEWLINE/'' ... It's a token we know
   Token ENDMARKER/'' ... It's a token we know

The fix is trivial.  Patch attached.

Is there a reason not to renumber token.h?

> Is there a reason not to renumber token.h?

I thought about that, but at the time I wasn't sure whether or not that
would break anything.  I went with the current patch because it is lower
risk.

On the other hand, proper clients of token.h should only be using the macros and should have no knowledge of the numeric codes.  If they do use the numeric codes directly somehow, then that is their issue.  So, I guess it is OK to renumber token.h.

Here is a patch that renumber the tokens.  I also regenerated token.py.
