Add support for parsing C++11 final classes

Such as:

  class X final {};

This no longer gives a syntax error.
This change has introduced one more shift-reduce conflict in the parser.
with a conflict with a C style variable declaration with name final:

  class X final;

resulting in a syntax error (for C++ not C). This is an an unusual style
for C++ code and more typical declarations do work:

  X final;
