Stabilize `type_alias_enum_variants` in Rust 1.37.0
Stabilize `#![feature(type_alias_enum_variants)]` which allows type-relative resolution with highest priority to `enum` variants in both expression and pattern contexts. For example, you may now write:
```rust
enum Option<T> {
None,
Some(T),
}
type OptAlias<T> = Option<T>;
fn work_on_alias(x: Option<u8>) -> u8 {
match x {
OptAlias::Some(y) => y + 1,
OptAlias::None => 0,
}
}
```

Allow attributes in formal function parameters
Implements https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/60406.
This is my first contribution to the compiler and since this is a large and complex project, I am not fully aware of the consequences of the changes I have made.
**TODO**
- [x] Forbid some built-in attributes.
- [x] Expand cfg/cfg_attr
Stabilize #![feature(repr_align_enum)] in Rust 1.37.0
On an `enum` item, you may now write:
```rust
#[repr(align(X))]
enum Foo {
// ...
}
```
This has equivalent effects to first defining:
```rust
#[repr(align(X))]
struct AlignX<T>(T);
```
and then using `AlignX<Foo>` in `Foo`'s stead.

Make tuple constructors real const fns
Mir construction special cases `Ctor(...)` to be lowered as `Ctor { 0: ... }`, which means this doesn't come up much in practice, but it seems inconsistent not to allow this.

Simplify use of keyword symbols
They mirror non-keyword symbols now (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/60630).
`keywords::MyKeyword.name()` -> `kw::MyKeyword`
`keywords::MyKeyword.ident()` -> `Ident::with_empty_ctxt(kw::MyKeyword)` (not common)
`keywords::Invalid.ident()` -> `Ident::invalid()` (more common)
Keywords are simply `Symbol` constants now, the `Keyword` struct is eliminated.
This means `kw::MyKeyword` can now be used in `match` in particular.
This allows types like Option<NonZeroU8> to be used in FFI without triggering the improper_ctypes lint. This works by changing the is_repr_nullable_ptr function to consider an enum E to be FFI-safe if:
- E has no explicit #[repr(...)].
- It only has two variants.
- One of those variants is empty (meaning it has no fields).
- The other variant has only one field.
- That field is one of the following:
- &T
- &mut T
- extern "C" fn
- core::num::NonZero*
- core::ptr::NonNull<T>
- #[repr(transparent)] struct wrapper around one of the types in this list.
- The size of E and its field are both known and are both the same size (implying E is participating in the nonnull optimization).
Adds support for .await under the existing async_await feature gate.
Moves macro-like await! syntax to the await_macro feature gate.
Removes support for `await` as a non-keyword under the `async_await`
feature.
