Grammar railroad diagram #489

Description

@mingodad

Would be nice if bnfc cold generate an EBNF understood by https://github.com/GuntherRademacher/rr to generate nice navigable railroad diagrams like the one shown bellow that was generated by https://mingodad.github.io/parsertl-playground/playground/ (after I've added bnfc grammar (select BNFC parser from Examples then click Parse to see a parse tree for the content in Input source)).

The tokens were manually added, see instructions at the top bellow to view the railroad diagram.

//
// EBNF to be viewd at
//    (IPV6) https://www.bottlecaps.de/rr/ui
//    (IPV4) https://rr.red-dove.com/ui
//
// Copy and paste this at one of the urls shown above in the 'Edit Grammar' tab
// then click the 'View Diagram' tab.
