I am using `ThinAttributes` rather than a vector for attributes
attached to generics, since I expect almost all lifetime and types
parameters to not carry any attributes.
Refactor `PathListItem`s
This refactors away variant `Mod` of `ast::PathListItemKind` and refactors the remaining variant `Ident` to a struct `ast::PathListItem_`.
To allow these braced macro invocation, this PR removes the optional expression from `ast::Block` and instead uses a `StmtKind::Expr` at the end of the statement list.
Currently, braced macro invocations in blocks can expand into statements (and items) except when they are last in a block, in which case they can only expand into expressions.
For example,
```rust
macro_rules! make_stmt {
() => { let x = 0; }
}
fn f() {
make_stmt! {} //< This is OK...
let x = 0; //< ... unless this line is commented out.
}
```
Fixes#34418.

(Only breaking because ast::TokenTree is now tokenstream::TokenTree.)
This pull request refactors TokenTrees into their own file as src/libsyntax/tokenstream.rs, moving them out of src/libsyntax/ast.rs, in order to prepare for an accompanying TokenStream implementation (per RFC 1566).
This PR refactors the 'errors' part of libsyntax into its own crate (librustc_errors). This is the first part of a few refactorings to simplify error reporting and potentially support more output formats (like a standardized JSON output and possibly an --explain mode that can work with the user's code), though this PR stands on its own and doesn't assume further changes.
As part of separating out the errors crate, I have also refactored the code position portion of codemap into its own crate (libsyntax_pos). While it's helpful to have the common code positions in a separate crate for the new errors crate, this may also enable further simplifications in the future.
This makes the "shadowing labels" warning *not* print the entire loop
as a span, but only the lifetime.
Also makes #31719 go away, but does not fix its root cause (the span
of the expanded loop is still wonky, but not used anymore).
Paths are mostly parsed without taking whitespaces into account, e.g. `std :: vec :: Vec :: new ()` parses successfully, however, there are some special cases involving keywords `super`, `self` and `Self`. For example, `self::` is considered a path start only if there are no spaces between `self` and `::`. These restrictions probably made sense when `self` and friends weren't keywords, but now they are unnecessary.
The first two commits remove this special treatment of whitespaces by removing `token::IdentStyle` entirely and therefore fix https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/14109.
This change also affects naked `self` and `super` (which are not tightly followed by `::`, obviously) they can now be parsed as paths, however they are still not resolved correctly in imports (cc @jseyfried, see `compile-fail/use-keyword.rs`), so https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/29036 is not completely fixed.
The third commit also makes `super`, `self`, `Self` and `static` keywords nominally (before this they acted as keywords for all purposes) and removes most of remaining \"special idents\".
The last commit (before tests) contains some small improvements - some qualified paths with type parameters are parsed correctly, `parse_path` is not used for parsing single identifiers, imports are sanity checked for absence of type parameters - such type parameters can be generated by syntax extensions or by macros when https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/10415 is fixed (~~soon!~~already!).
This patch changes some pretty basic things in `libsyntax`, like `token::Token` and the keyword list, so it's a plugin-[breaking-change].
