Subject: [PATCH] hclsyntax: Correct spec to allow colons as object element
 delimiter

To allow easir adaptation of data already serialized as JSON, HCL native
syntax allows both equals signs _and_ colons for object constructors.

This was already implemented, but not reflected in the pseudo-BNF in
the specification.

 Only tuple and object values can be directly constructed via native syntax.
