[release-branch.go1.5] cmd/asm: fix potential infinite loop in parser

For ARM machines, the assembler supports list of registers
operands such as [R1,R2].

A list missing a ']' results in the parser issuing many errors
and consuming all the tokens. At EOF (i.e. end of the line),
it still loops.

Normally, a counter is maintained to make sure the parser
stops after 10 errors. However, multiple errors occuring on the
same line are simply ignored. Only the first one is reported.
At most one error per line is accounted.

Missing ']' in a register list therefore results in an
infinite loop.

Fixed the parser by explicitly checking for ']' to interrupt
this loops

In the operand tests, also fixed a wrong entry which I think was
not set on purpose (but still led to a successful result).

Fixes #11764
