This is gated on edition 2018 & the `async_await` feature gate.
The parser will accept `async fn` and `async unsafe fn` as fn
items. Along the same lines as `const fn`, only `async unsafe fn`
is permitted, not `unsafe async fn`.The parser will not accept
`async` functions as trait methods.
To do a little code clean up, four fields of the function type
struct have been merged into the new `FnHeader` struct: constness,
asyncness, unsafety, and ABI.
Also, a small bug in HIR printing is fixed: it previously printed
`const unsafe fn` as `unsafe const fn`, which is grammatically
incorrect.
refactor: create multiple HIR items for imports
When lowering `use` statements into HIR, they get a `Def` of the thing they're pointing at. This is great for things that need to know what was just pulled into scope. However, this is a bit misleading, because a `use` statement can pull things from multiple namespaces if their names collide. This is a problem for rustdoc, because if there are a module and a function with the same name (for example) then it will only document the module import, because that's that the lowered `use` statement points to.
The current version of this PR does the following:
* Whenever the resolver comes across a `use` statement, it loads the definitions into a new `import_map` instead of the existing `def_map`. This keeps the resolutions per-namespace so that all the target definitions are available.
* When lowering `use` statements, it looks up the resolutions in the `import_map` and creates multiple `Item`s if there is more than one resolution.
* To ensure the `NodeId`s are properly tracked in the lowered module, they need to be created in the AST, and pulled out as needed if multiple resolutions are available.

Deny #[cfg] and #[cfg_attr] on generic parameters.
Fix#51279.
Attributes on generic parameters are not expanded, meaning `#[cfg]`, `#[cfg_attr]` and attribute proc macros are entirely ignored on them.
This PR makes using the first two attributes an error, because if they are correctly expanded will affect the AST and change code behavior.
I'm beta-nominating this, because generic parameter attributes are stabilizing in 1.27, and if we did not reserve their usage, we may never be able to repurpose the meaning of these attributes in the Rust 2015 edition.
Point to the current box syntax tracking issue
The issue was used for both box syntax as well as placement new.
It got closed due to placement new being unapproved.
So a new one got created for box syntax, yet neither
the unstable book nor feature_gate.rs got updated.
We are doing this now.

rustc: Disallow modules and macros in expansions
This commit feature gates generating modules and macro definitions in procedural
macro expansions. Custom derive is exempt from this check as it would be a large
retroactive breaking change (#50587). It's hoped that we can hopefully stem the
bleeding to figure out a better solution here before opening up the floodgates.
The restriction here is specifically targeted at surprising hygiene results [1]
that result in non-"copy/paste" behavior. Hygiene and procedural macros is
intended to be avoided as much as possible for Macros 1.2 by saying everything
is "as if you copy/pasted the code", but modules and macros are sort of weird
exceptions to this rule that aren't fully fleshed out.

This commit fixes a hard error where the `#![feature(rust_2018_preview)]`
feature was forbidden to be mentioned when the `--edition 2018` flag was passed.
This instead silently accepts that feature gate despite it not being necessary.
It's intended that this will help ease the transition into the 2018 edition as
users will, for the time being, start off with the `rust_2018_preview` feature
and no longer immediately need to remove it.
Closes#50662
Module experiments: Add one more prelude layer for extern crate names passed with `--extern`
Implements one item from https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/the-great-module-adventure-continues/6678/183
When some name is looked up in lexical scope (`name`, i.e. not module-relative scope `some_mod::name` or `::name`), it's searched roughly in the next order:
- local variables
- items in unnamed blocks
- items in the current module
- ✨ NEW! ✨ crate names passed with `--extern` ("extern prelude")
- standard library prelude (`Vec`, `drop`)
- language prelude (built-in types like `u8`, `str`, etc)
The last two layers contain a limited set of names controlled by us and not arbitrary user-defined names like upper layers. We want to be able to add new names into these two layers without breaking user code, so "extern prelude" names have higher priority than std prelude and built-in types.
This is a one-time breaking change, that's why it would be nice to run this through crater.
Practical impact is expected to be minimal though due to stylistic reasons (there are not many `Uppercase` crates) and due to the way how primitive types are resolved (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/32131).
