bug#12274: 24.2; awk-mode indentation failure

[Leo]

1. Emacs -q and change to a new buffer
2. M-x awk-mode
3. Type: NR >= 3
4. Type return and then tab to indent

The newline is indented.

AWK mode fails to recognise NR >= 3 as a pattern-action pair where
action is omitted. Statements in awk need no ; to terminate.

Hello, Leo.

As Glenn remarked, this is bug #12274.

No, not a regression, rather a bug which has been there since 4004 BC.
It's actually the "=" sign which triggers it, confusing the parsing
algortihm into thinking it's a C initialisation statement.

The solution is to move the pertinent AWK parsing clause earlier on in
the enclosing cond form.

Glenn, this is not a regression.  Should I nevertheless commit it to the
emacs-24 branch?

Here's the patch:

No, this should go to trunk,
