Eventually zcl will have its own native template format that we'll use
by default, but for applications migrating from HCL/HIL we can instead
parse strings as HIL templates, for compatibility with how JSON configs
would've been processed in a HCL/HIL app.
When this mode is not enabled, we still just treat strings as literals,
pending the implementation of the zcl template parser.
When using the parser to do static analysis and editor integrations, it's
still useful to be able to get the incomplete AST resulting from a parse
error.
Callers that intend to use the returned value to take real actions (as
opposed to just analysis) must check diags.HasError() to determine if
the returned file can be considered valid.
