Currently, a non-clean build after updating `grammar.js` will not pick up any new changes. This happens because as far as the makefile is concerned, `parser.c` is a source file, and it has not been updated. To fix this, we simply add a rule that can generate `parser.c`. If someone runs `make install` after `npm install`, this rule will do nothing, because the output file will already be newer. However, if someone updates the repo, this will ensure all artifacts get updated. Fixes #229
