Refactor the Java lexer to treat
record
as a soft keyword. Fixes #2016.Previously, the lexer assumed record is a reserved word, even though
it is a soft keyword which can be used as a variable name. This meant
that if pygments tried to highlight Java code like
int record = 1
(assignment to a variable named record) an error token would be produced.
This refactor lexes record as a keyword only if it appears at the
beginning of the line, with some potential other keywords like public
and private preceding it.
I am not a Java expert at all, but after reading the JEP for records, I think this
covers all cases.
