Nicholas Nethercote 1564318482 Only have one source of truth for keywords.
`rustc_symbol` is the source of truth for keywords.

rustdoc has its own implicit definition of keywords, via the
`is_doc_keyword`. It (presumably) intends to include all keywords, but
it omits `yeet`.

rustfmt has its own explicit list of Rust keywords. It also (presumably)
intends to include all keywords, but it omits `await`, `builtin`, `gen`,
`macro_rules`, `raw`, `reuse`, `safe`, and `yeet`. Also, it does linear
searches through this list, which is inefficient.

This commit fixes all of the above problems by introducing a new
predicate `is_any_keyword` in rustc and using it in rustdoc and rustfmt.
It documents that it's not the right predicate in most cases.

The rustc_ast crate contains those things concerned purely with syntax that is, the AST ("abstract syntax tree"), along with some definitions for tokens and token streams, data structures/traits for mutating ASTs, and shared definitions for other AST-related parts of the compiler (like the lexer and macro-expansion).

For more information about how these things work in rustc, see the rustc dev guide:
