When in a file with a non-terminated item, catch the error and consume
the block instead of trying to recover it more granularly in order to
reduce the amount of unrelated errors that would be fixed after adding
the missing closing brace. Also point out the possible location of the
missing closing brace.
Remove implicit dependencies on syntax::pprust
Part of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/65324.
The main goal here is to facilitate the eventual move of pprust out from libsyntax and because an AST definition typically should not depend on its pretty printer.

Instead just use `pprust::path_to_string(..)` where needed.
This has two benefits:
a) The AST definition is now independent of printing it.
(Therefore we get closer to extracting a data-crate.)
b) Debugging should be easier as program flow is clearer.
Add support for `const unsafe? extern fn`
This works just as you might expect - an `const extern fn` is a `const fn` that is callable from foreign code.
Currently, panicking is not allowed in `const`s. When https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2345 (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/51999) is stabilized, then panicking in an `const extern fn` will produce a compile-time error when invoked at compile time, and an abort when invoked at runtime.
Since this is extending the language (we're allowing the `const` keyword in a new context), I believe that this will need an FCP. However, it's a very minor change, so I didn't think that filing an RFC was necessary.
This will allow libc (and other FFI crates) to make many functions `const`, without having to give up on making them `extern` as well.
Tracking issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/64926.
This commit improves the suggestions provided when function parameters
do not have types:
- A new suggestion is added for arbitrary self types, which suggests
adding `self: ` before the type.
- Existing suggestions are now provided when a `<` is found where a `:`
was expected (previously only `,` and `)` or trait items), this gives
suggestions in the case where the unnamed parameter type is generic
in a free function.
- The suggestion that a type name be provided (e.g. `fn foo(HashMap<u32>)`
-> `fn foo(HashMap: TypeName<u32>)`) will no longer occur when a `<` was
found instead of `:`.
- The ident will not be used for recovery when a `<` was found instead
of `:`.

syntax: fix dropping of attribute on first param of non-method assocated fn
Fixes#64682.
The general idea is that we bake parsing of `self` into `parse_param_general` and then we just use standard list parsing. Overall, this simplifies the parsing and makes it more consistent.
