Rework treatment of `$crate` in procedural macros Important clarification: `$crate` below means "processed `$crate`" or "output `$crate`". In the input of a decl macro `$crate` is just two separate tokens, but in the *output of a decl macro* `$crate` is a single keyword identifier (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/55640#issuecomment-435692791). First of all, this PR removes the `eliminate_crate_var` hack. `$crate::foo` is no longer replaced with `::foo` or `::crate_name::foo` in the input of derive proc macros, it's passed to the macro instead with its precise span and hygiene data, and can be treated as any other path segment keyword (like `crate` or `self`) after that. (Note: `eliminate_crate_var` was never used for non-derive proc macros.) This creates an annoying problem - derive macros still may stringify their input before processing and expect `$crate` survive that stringification and refer to the same crate (the Rust 1.15-1.29 way of doing things). Moreover, the input of proc macro attributes and derives (but not fn-like proc macros) also effectively survives stringification before being passed to the macro (also for legacy implementation reasons). So we kind of resurrect the `eliminate_crate_var` hack in reduced form, but apply it only to AST pretty-printing. If an AST fragment is pretty-printed, the resulting *text* will have `$crate` replaced with `crate` or `::crate_name`. This should be enough to keep all the legacy cases working.
