DefaultImpl is a highly confusing name for what we now call auto impls,
as in `impl Send for ..`. The name auto impl is not formally decided
but for sanity anything is better than `DefaultImpl` which refers
neither to `default impl` nor to `impl Default`.
Add Span to ast::WhereClause
This PR adds `Span` field to `ast::WhereClause`. The motivation here is to make rustfmt's life easier when recovering comments before and after where clause.

This is then later used by `proc_macro` to generate a new
`proc_macro::TokenTree` which preserves span information. Unfortunately this
isn't a bullet-proof approach as it doesn't handle the case when there's still
other attributes on the item, especially inner attributes.
Despite this the intention here is to solve the primary use case for procedural
attributes, attached to functions as outer attributes, likely bare. In this
situation we should be able to now yield a lossless stream of tokens to preserve
span information.
This commit adds a new field to the `Item` AST node in libsyntax to optionally
contain the original token stream that the item itself was parsed from. This is
currently `None` everywhere but is intended for use later with procedural
macros.
this commit implements the first step of the `default impl` feature:
all items in a `default impl` are (implicitly) `default` and hence
specializable.
In order to test this feature I've copied all the tests provided for the
`default` method implementation (in run-pass/specialization and
compile-fail/specialization directories) and moved the `default` keyword
from the item to the impl.
See referenced issue for further info
Add a `TyErr` type to represent unknown types in places where
parse errors have happened, while still able to build the AST.
Initially only used to represent incorrectly written fn arguments and
avoid "expected X parameters, found Y" errors when called with the
appropriate amount of parameters. We cannot use `TyInfer` for this as
`_` is not allowed as a valid argument type.
Example output:
```rust
error: expected one of `:` or `@`, found `,`
--> file.rs:12:9
|
12 | fn bar(x, y: usize) {}
| ^
error[E0061]: this function takes 2 parameters but 3 parameters were supplied
--> file.rs:19:9
|
12 | fn bar(x, y) {}
| --------------- defined here
...
19 | bar(1, 2, 3);
| ^^^^^^^ expected 2 parameters
```
exclusive range patterns
adds `..` patterns to the language under a feature gate (`exclusive_range_pattern`).
This allows turning
``` rust
match i {
0...9 => {},
10...19 => {},
20...29 => {},
_ => {}
}
```
into
``` rust
match i {
0..10 => {},
10..20 => {},
20..30 => {},
_ => {}
}
```
Merge ObjectSum and PolyTraitRef in AST/HIR + some other refactoring
`ObjectSum` and `PolyTraitRef` are the same thing (list of bounds), they exist separately only due to parser quirks. The second commit merges them.
The first commit replaces `Path` with `Ty` in (not yet supported) equality predicates. They are parsed as types anyway and arbitrary types can always be disguised as paths using aliases, so this doesn't add any new functionality.
The third commit uses `Vec` instead of `P<[T]>` in AST. AST is not immutable like HIR and `Vec`s are more convenient for it, unnecessary conversions are also avoided.
The last commit renames `parse_ty_sum` (which is used for parsing types in general) into `parse_ty`, and renames `parse_ty` (which is used restricted contexts where `+` is not permitted due to operator priorities or other reasons) into `parse_ty_no_plus`.
This is the first part of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/39085#issuecomment-272743755 and https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/39080 focused on data changes and mechanical renaming, I'll submit a PR with parser changes a bit later.

syntax: enable attributes and cfg on struct fields
This enables conditional compilation of field initializers in a struct literal, simplifying construction of structs whose fields are themselves conditionally present. For example, the intializer for the constant in the following becomes legal, and has the intuitive effect:
```rust
struct Foo {
#[cfg(unix)]
bar: (),
}
const FOO: Foo = Foo {
#[cfg(unix)]
bar: (),
};
```
It's not clear to me whether this calls for the full RFC process, but the implementation was simple enough that I figured I'd begin the conversation with code.
