We already had a cache for file contents, but we read the source-file
before testing the cache, causing obvious slowness, so this just avoids
loading the source-file when the cache already has the contents.
* The lazy loading mechanism has been moved to a more appropriate place.
* Return values from the functions invoked there are properly used.
* Documentation has gotten some minor improvements.
* Possibly some larger restructuring will need to take place still.
They are now handled in their own member to prevent mutating access to
the `src` member. This way, we can safely load external sources, while
keeping the mutation of local source strings off-limits.
The rationale is that BOM stripping is needed for lazy source loading
for external crates, and duplication can be avoided by moving the
corresponding functionality to libsyntax_pos.
We can use these to perform lazy loading of source files belonging to
external crates. That way we will be able to show the source code of
external spans that have been translated.

When items are inlined from extern crates, the filename in the debug info
is taken from the FileMap that's serialized in the rlib metadata.
Currently this is just FileMap.name, which is whatever path is passed to rustc.
Since libcore and libstd are built by invoking rustc with relative paths,
they wind up with relative paths in the rlib, and when linked into a binary
the debug info uses relative paths for the names, but since the compilation
directory for the final binary, tools trying to read source filenames
will wind up with bad paths. We noticed this in Firefox with source
filenames from libcore/libstd having bad paths.
This change stores an absolute path in FileMap.abs_path, and uses that
if available for writing debug info. This is not going to magically make
debuggers able to find the source, but it will at least provide sensible
paths.
Perform `cfg` attribute processing during macro expansion and fix bugs
This PR refactors `cfg` attribute processing and fixes bugs. More specifically:
- It merges gated feature checking for stmt/expr attributes, `cfg_attr` processing, and `cfg` processing into a single fold.
- This allows feature gated `cfg` variables to be used in `cfg_attr` on unconfigured items. All other feature gated attributes can already be used on unconfigured items.
- It performs `cfg` attribute processing during macro expansion instead of after expansion so that macro-expanded items are configured the same as ordinary items. In particular, to match their non-expanded counterparts,
- macro-expanded unconfigured macro invocations are no longer expanded,
- macro-expanded unconfigured macro definitions are no longer usable, and
- feature gated `cfg` variables on macro-expanded macro definitions/invocations are now errors.
This is a [breaking-change]. For example, the following would break:
```rust
macro_rules! m {
() => {
#[cfg(attr)]
macro_rules! foo { () => {} }
foo!(); // This will be an error
macro_rules! bar { () => { fn f() {} } }
#[cfg(attr)] bar!(); // This will no longer be expanded ...
fn g() { f(); } // ... so that `f` will be unresolved.
#[cfg(target_thread_local)] // This will be a gated feature error
macro_rules! baz { () => {} }
}
}
m!();
```
