Add S_parse_ident_no_copy()

This new function is for callers that are merely checking if the string
being parsed is a legal identifier or not, and arent interested in the
normalized version of the identifier that parse_indent() generates.

This new function allows callers to not have to think about this buffer;
it just wraps plain parse_ident() using a throw-away buffer to hold the
returned normalized text.  This avoids introducing a bunch of
conditionals inside parse_ident.
