Ast address-of
This is the parts of #64588 that don't affect MIR. If an address-of expression makes it to MIR lowering we error and lower to the best currently expressible approximation to limit further errors.

*Syntactically* permit visibilities on trait items & enum variants
Fixes#65041
Suppose we have `$vis trait_item` or `$vis enum_variant` and `$vis` is a `:vis` macro fragment. Before this PR, this would fail to parse. This is now instead allowed as per language team consensus in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/65041#issuecomment-538105286. (See added tests for elaboration.)
Moreover, we now also permit visibility modifiers on trait items & enum variants *syntactically* but reject them with semantic checks (in `ast_validation`):
```rust
#[cfg(FALSE)]
trait Foo { pub fn bar(); } // OK
#[cfg(FALSE)]
enum E { pub U } // OK
```
A scheme for more macro-matcher friendly pre-expansion gating
Pre-expansion gating will now avoid gating macro matchers that did not result in `Success(...)`. That is, the following is now OK despite `box 42` being a valid `expr` and that form being pre-expansion gated:
```rust
macro_rules! m {
($e:expr) => { 0 }; // This fails on the input below due to `, foo`.
(box $e:expr, foo) => { 1 }; // Successful matcher, we should get `2`.
}
fn main() {
assert_eq!(1, m!(box 42, foo));
}
```
Closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/65846.

We also sever syntax's dependency on rustc_target as a result.
This should slightly improve pipe-lining.
Moreover, some cleanup is done in related code.
`AttrKind` is a new type with two variants, `Normal` and `DocComment`. It's a
big performance win (over 10% in some cases) because `DocComment` lets doc
comments (which are common) be represented very cheaply.
`Attribute` gets some new helper methods to ease the transition:
- `has_name()`: check if the attribute name matches a single `Symbol`; for
`DocComment` variants it succeeds if the symbol is `sym::doc`.
- `is_doc_comment()`: check if it has a `DocComment` kind.
- `{get,unwrap}_normal_item()`: extract the item from a `Normal` variant;
panic otherwise.
Fixes#60935.
caller_location: point to macro invocation sites, like file!/line!, and use in core::panic!.
The main change here is to `core::panic!`, trying to fix this remaining regression: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/65927#issuecomment-547625147
However, in order for `caller_location` to be usable from macros the same way `file!()`/`line!()` are, it needs to have the same behavior (of extracting the macro invocation site `Span` and using that).
Arguably we would've had to do this at some point anyway, if we want to use `#[track_caller]` to replace the `file!()`/`line!()` uses from macros, but I'm not sure the RFC mentions this at all.

Rename `LocalInternedString` and more
This PR renames `LocalInternedString` as `SymbolStr`, removes an unnecessary `impl` from it, improves comments, and cleans up some `SymbolStr` uses.

syntax: Avoid span arithmetic for delimiter tokens
The +/-1 logic is from the time where the whole group had a single span and the delimiter spans had to be calculated from it.
Now the delimiters have their own spans which are constructed by lexer or proc macro API and can be used directly.
If those spans are not perfect, then it should be fixed by tweaking the corresponding lexer logic rather than by trying to add or substract `1` from the span boundaries.

expand: Feature gate out-of-line modules in proc macro input
Extracted from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/64273.
We are currently gating attributes applied directly to `mod` items because there are unresolved questions about out-of-line modules and their behavior is very likely to change.
However, you can sneak an out-of-line module into an attribute macro input using modules nested into other items like
```rust
#[my_attr]
fn m() {
#[path = "zzz.rs"]
mod n; // what tokens does the `my_attr` macro see?
}
```
This PR prevents that and emits a feature gate error for this case as well.

It would be great to land this before beta.
