parse: fuse associated and extern items up to defaultness
Language changes:
- The grammar of extern `type` aliases is unified with associated ones, and becomes:
```rust
TypeItem = "type" ident generics {":" bounds}? where_clause {"=" type}? ";" ;
```
Semantic restrictions (`ast_validation`) are added to forbid any parameters in `generics`, any bounds in `bounds`, and any predicates in `where_clause`, as well as the presence of a type expression (`= u8`).
(Work still remains to fuse this with free `type` aliases, but this can be done later.)
- The grammar of constants and static items (free, associated, and extern) now permits the absence of an expression, and becomes:
```rust
GlobalItem = {"const" {ident | "_"} | "static" "mut"? ident} {"=" expr}? ";" ;
```
- A semantic restriction is added to enforce the presence of the expression (the body).
- A semantic restriction is added to reject `const _` in associated contexts.
Together, these changes allow us to fuse the grammar of associated items and extern items up to `default`ness which is the main goal of the PR.
-----------------------
We are now very close to fully fusing the entirely of item parsing and their ASTs. To progress further, we must make a decision: should we parse e.g. `default use foo::bar;` and whatnot? Accepting that is likely easiest from a parsing perspective, as it does not require using look-ahead, but it is perhaps not too onerous to only accept it for `fn`s (and all their various qualifiers), `const`s, `static`s, and `type`s.

Fixes#68690
When we generate the proc macro harness, we now explicitly recorder the
order in which we generate entries. We then use this ordering data to
deserialize the correct proc-macro-data from the crate metadata.
Step stage0 to bootstrap from 1.42
This also includes a commit which fixes the rustfmt downloading logic to redownload when the rustfmt channel changes, and bumps rustfmt to a more recent version.
Shrink `Nonterminal`
These commits shrink `Nonterminal` from 240 bytes to 40 bytes. When building `serde_derive` they reduce the number of `memcpy` calls from 9.6M to 7.4M, and it's a tiny win on a few other benchmarks.
r? @petrochenkov
This commit reduces the size of `Nonterminal` from a whopping 240 bytes
to 72 bytes (on x86-64), which gets it below the `memcpy` threshold.
It also removes some impedance mismatches with `Annotatable`, which
already uses `P` for these variants.
