spec: document that trailing comma is valid after index in index expressions

At parse time we don't know if a[i] is an index expression or a
type (or function) instantiation. Because instantiations accept
a list of type arguments, and argument lists permit a trailing
comma, a[i,] is either an instantiation or index expression.

Document that a trailing comma is permitted in the syntax for
index expressions.

For comparison, the same problem arises with conversions which
cannot be distinguished from function calls at parse time. The
spec also permits a trailing comma for conversions T(x,). The
grammar adjustment is the same (see line 5239).

Fixes #55007.
