feat(compiler-core): support false prop shorthand

[KazariEX]

resolve vuejs/rfcs#777

Summary by CodeRabbit

• New Features
  • Added support for the false shorthand syntax in v-bind directives. Developers can now use the ! notation to concisely set binding values to false, improving code readability for boolean attribute bindings (e.g., <div !id />).

packages/compiler-core/src/parser.ts (1)

200-233: ! → bind mapping and default false exp look correct; consider the <div !> edge case

Mapping raw === '!' to the bind directive and seeding exp with a false SimpleExpression gives <div !id /> the same internal shape as v-bind:id="false", and stays consistent with how ., :, @, and # are treated here. Using a synthetic expression (no real source span) also makes sense since false is implicit in the shorthand.

One behavioral edge case to be aware of: <div ! /> will now parse as a bind directive with no arg and exp = false (effectively v-bind="false"), rather than producing a missing-arg error. If RFC 777 expects that to be invalid, you might want to special‑case raw === '!' with an empty arg to emit an error instead; otherwise this behavior is consistent with the rest of the parser.

136-149: New false‑shorthand test is aligned with the intended semantics

This test cleanly validates that <div !id /> compiles to a prop id: false with a static key and non‑static value, matching the new parser behavior. For future hardening (not blocking here), you might also add variants with prefixIdentifiers: true and/or dynamic args (e.g. ![foo]) to lock in those combinations.

664-681: Extending directive prefix detection to ! is consistent and localized

Routing ! through the directive path here (same bucket as ., :, @, #) correctly feeds ondirname a raw '!' and then parses the rest as the arg. This aligns tokenizer behavior with the parser’s new handling and keeps all existing attr/dir state transitions intact. The only functional change is that attrs starting with ! are no longer plain attributes but directives, which seems acceptable given HTML’s constraints and the RFC intent.
