[v2,1/3] parser: fixredir: invalid redirections are run-time, not syntax

Commit Message

This fixes a long-standing bug where
  echo 'echo >&a' | sh
errors out with
  sh: 2: Syntax error: Bad fd number
despite the error being on line 1

This patch makes the error
  sh: 1: Bad fd number: a
as expected

Adapted-from: https://github.com/hvdijk/gwsh/commit/d279523041c1c380d64b6dec7760feba20bbf6b5
