Bug #15932: wrong "void value expression" error for 'next' or 'break' statements inside an 'if' assignment

----------------------------------------
When a 'next' or 'break' statement for block/loop control is placed inside an 'if' assignment, the parser outputs an error "void value expression". The same parsing error raises for the ternary operator in the same conditions.

I think, the the correct behavior should be consistent with the behavior of the 'case' statement, that is parsing such a code without errors and leaving the right-side variable with 'nil' value.

Examples of code giving a "void value expression" error:

1.

```
begin
	a = if false
		'A'
	else
		next
	end
end while false
```

2.
```
begin
	a = false ? 'A' : next
end while false
```

Example of code running without errors:

3.
```
begin
	a = case false
		when true
			'A'
		else
			next
		end
end while false
```

4.
```
begin
	a = (false or next)
end while false
```
