It encapsulate the (part of) the interface between the parser and
macro by example (macro_rules) parser.
The second bit is somewhat more general `parse_ast_fragment`, which is
the reason why we keep some `parse_xxx` functions as public.
Recover extra trailing angle brackets in struct definition
This commit applies the existing 'extra angle bracket recovery' logic
when parsing fields in struct definitions. This allows us to continue
parsing the struct's fields, avoiding spurious 'missing field' errors in
code that tries to use the struct.

When we parse a chain of method calls like `foo.a().b().c()`, each
`MethodCallExpr` gets assigned a span that starts at the beginning of
the call chain (`foo`). While this is useful for diagnostics, it means
that `Location::caller` will return the same location for every call
in a call chain.
This PR makes us separately record the span of the function name and
arguments for a method call (e.g. `b()` in `foo.a().b().c()`). This
`Span` is passed through HIR lowering and MIR building to
`TerminatorKind::Call`, where it is used in preference to
`Terminator.source_info.span` when determining `Location::caller`.
This new span is also useful for diagnostics where we want to emphasize
a particular method call - for an example, see

Lint must_use on mem::replace
This adds a hint on `mem::replace`, "if you don't need the old value,
you can just assign the new value directly". This is in similar spirit
to the `must_use` on `ManuallyDrop::take`.
parser: recover on `for<'a> |...| body` closures
When encountering `for` and `<` is 1 token ahead, interpret this as an explicitly quantified generic closure and recover, rather than attempting to parse a `for` loop. This provides both improved diagnostics as well as an insurance policy for the ability to use this as the syntax for generic closures in the future.

Permit attributes on 'if' expressions
Previously, attributes on 'if' expressions (e.g. `#[attr] if true {}`)
were disallowed during parsing. This made it impossible for macros to
perform any custom handling of such attributes (e.g. stripping them
away), since a compilation error would be emitted before they ever had a
chance to run.
This PR permits attributes on 'if' expressions ('if-attrs' from here on).
Both built-in attributes (e.g. `#[allow]`, `#[cfg]`) and proc-macro attributes are supported.
We still do *not* accept attributes on 'other parts' of an if-else
chain. That is, the following code snippet still fails to parse:
```rust
if true {} #[attr] else if false {} else #[attr] if false {} #[attr]
else {}
```

Parse & reject postfix operators after casts
This adds an explicit error messages for when parsing `x as Type[0]` or similar expressions. Our add an extra parse case for parsing any postfix operator (dot, indexing, method calls, await) that triggers directly after parsing `as` expressions.
My friend and I worked on this together, but they're still deciding on a github username and thus I'm submitting this for both of us.
It will immediately error out, but will also provide the rest of the parser with a useful parse tree to deal with.
There's one decision we made in how this produces the parse tree. In the situation `&x as T[0]`, one could imagine this parsing as either `&((x as T)[0])` or `((&x) as T)[0]`. We chose the latter for ease of implementation, and as it seemed the most intuitive.
Feedback welcome! This is our first change to the parser section, and it might be completely horrible.

Implementes suggeseted changes by Centril.
This checks whether the memory location of the cast remains the same
after atttempting to parse a postfix operator after a cast has been
parsed. If the address is not the same, an illegal postfix operator
was parsed.
Previously the code generated a hash of the pointer, which was overly
complex and inefficent. Casting the pointers and comparing them
is simpler and more effcient.
