Merge `TraitItem` & `ImplItem into `AssocItem`
In this PR we:
- Merge `{Trait,Impl}Item{Kind?}` into `AssocItem{Kind?}` as discussed in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/65041#issuecomment-538105286.
- This is done by using the cover grammar of both forms.
- In particular, it requires that we syntactically allow (under `#[cfg(FALSE)]`):
- `default`ness on `trait` items,
- `impl` items without a body / definition (`const`, `type`, and `fn`),
- and associated `type`s in `impl`s with bounds, e.g., `type Foo: Ord;`.
- The syntactic restrictions are replaced by semantic ones in `ast_validation`.
- Move syntactic restrictions around C-variadic parameters from the parser into `ast_validation`:
- `fn`s in all contexts now syntactically allow `...`,
- `...` can occur anywhere in the list syntactically (`fn foo(..., x: usize) {}`),
- and `...` can be the sole parameter (`fn foo(...) {}`.

Because it's unused. This then allows the removal of
`MatcherPos::sp_open`. It's a tiny perf win, reducing instruction counts
by 0.1% - 0.2% on a few benchmarks.
Ast address-of
This is the parts of #64588 that don't affect MIR. If an address-of expression makes it to MIR lowering we error and lower to the best currently expressible approximation to limit further errors.

*Syntactically* permit visibilities on trait items & enum variants
Fixes#65041
Suppose we have `$vis trait_item` or `$vis enum_variant` and `$vis` is a `:vis` macro fragment. Before this PR, this would fail to parse. This is now instead allowed as per language team consensus in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/65041#issuecomment-538105286. (See added tests for elaboration.)
Moreover, we now also permit visibility modifiers on trait items & enum variants *syntactically* but reject them with semantic checks (in `ast_validation`):
```rust
#[cfg(FALSE)]
trait Foo { pub fn bar(); } // OK
#[cfg(FALSE)]
enum E { pub U } // OK
```
A scheme for more macro-matcher friendly pre-expansion gating
Pre-expansion gating will now avoid gating macro matchers that did not result in `Success(...)`. That is, the following is now OK despite `box 42` being a valid `expr` and that form being pre-expansion gated:
```rust
macro_rules! m {
($e:expr) => { 0 }; // This fails on the input below due to `, foo`.
(box $e:expr, foo) => { 1 }; // Successful matcher, we should get `2`.
}
fn main() {
assert_eq!(1, m!(box 42, foo));
}
```
Closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/65846.

We also sever syntax's dependency on rustc_target as a result.
This should slightly improve pipe-lining.
Moreover, some cleanup is done in related code.
`AttrKind` is a new type with two variants, `Normal` and `DocComment`. It's a
big performance win (over 10% in some cases) because `DocComment` lets doc
comments (which are common) be represented very cheaply.
`Attribute` gets some new helper methods to ease the transition:
- `has_name()`: check if the attribute name matches a single `Symbol`; for
`DocComment` variants it succeeds if the symbol is `sym::doc`.
- `is_doc_comment()`: check if it has a `DocComment` kind.
- `{get,unwrap}_normal_item()`: extract the item from a `Normal` variant;
panic otherwise.
Fixes#60935.
