This PR solves #6704

Note / 20240914:

After further inspection, I wonder why resets are implemented quite different to regular gates, despite following a somewhat similar terminology (cirq.R or cirq.reset) however, returning a ResetChannel. It appears to me that the reset is more similar to a measurement than compared to say a Hadamard gate.

Squashing everything into one commit after we finish review. Thus I leave the generic 'Fix comments & typos' as it is for now.

Add a test which can serve as example including the modifications to
support the `reset` keyword in the import of QASM files in the PLY based
lexer/parser.

My review doesn't mean much, since I'm not very familiar with this codebase, but the diff looks reasonable! Hope this can get reviewed by a cirq maintainer soon :)

"""reset : RESET qreg ';'"""
qreg = p[2]

p[0] = [ops.ResetChannel().on(qreg[i]) for i in range(len(qreg))]

Should there be some sort of check here to ensure the reset is applied on a qubit that is actually defined in the quantum register? E.g. should some error be raised when trying to parse the following QASM program?

OPENQASM 2.0;
include "qelib1.inc";
qreg q[1];
reset q[2];
