Implement the `loop_break_value` feature.
This implements RFC 1624, tracking issue #37339.
- `FnCtxt` (in typeck) gets a stack of `LoopCtxt`s, which store the
currently deduced type of that loop, the desired type, and a list of
break expressions currently seen. `loop` loops get a fresh type
variable as their initial type (this logic is stolen from that for
arrays). `while` loops get `()`.
- `break {expr}` looks up the broken loop, and unifies the type of
`expr` with the type of the loop.
- `break` with no expr unifies the loop's type with `()`.
- When building MIR, loops no longer construct a `()` value at
termination of the loop; rather, the `break` expression assigns the
result of the loop.
- ~~I have also changed the loop scoping in MIR-building so that the test
of a while loop is not considered to be part of that loop. This makes
the rules consistent with #37360. The new loop scopes in typeck also
follow this rule. That means that `loop { while (break) {} }` now
terminates instead of looping forever. This is technically a breaking
change.~~
- ~~On that note, expressions like `while break {}` and `if break {}` no
longer parse because `{}` is interpreted as an expression argument to
`break`. But no code except compiler test cases should do that anyway
because it makes no sense.~~
- The RFC did not make it clear, but I chose to make `break ()` inside
of a `while` loop illegal, just in case we wanted to do anything with
that design space in the future.
This is my first time dealing with this part of rustc so I'm sure
there's plenty of problems to pick on here ^_^

- `break` respects contexts in which expressions may not end with braced
blocks. That is, `while break { break-value } { while-body }` is
illegal; this preserves backwards compatibility.

Don't spin expanding stmt macros.
If we can't make progress when parsing a macro expansion as a statement then we should just bail.
This alleviates the symptoms shown in e.g. #37113 and #37234 but it doesn't fix the problem that parsing invalid enum bodies (and others) leaves the parser in a crappy state.
I'm not sold on this strategy (checking `tokens_consumed`), so if anyone has a better idea, I'm all ears!
Most of the Rust community agrees that the vec! macro is clearer when
called using square brackets [] instead of regular brackets (). Most of
these ocurrences are from before macros allowed using different types of
brackets.
There is one left unchanged in a pretty-print test, as the pretty
printer still wants it to have regular brackets.
Avoid more allocations when compiling html5ever
These three commits reduce the number of allocations performed when compiling html5ever from 13.2M to 10.8M, which speeds up compilation by about 2%.

Avoid some allocations in the macro parser
These three commits reduce the number of heap allocations done when compiling rustc-benchmarks/html5ever-2016-08-25 by 20%, from 16.5M to 13.3M. This speeds up (debug) compilation of it with a stage1 compiler by about 7%.
