Split libsyntax apart
In this PR the general idea is to separate the AST, parser, and friends by a more data / logic structure (tho not fully realized!) by separating out the parser and macro expansion code from libsyntax. Specifically have now three crates instead of one (libsyntax):
- libsyntax:
- concrete syntax tree (`syntax::ast`)
- definition of tokens and token-streams (`syntax::{token, tokenstream}`) -- used by `syntax::ast`
- visitors (`syntax::visit`, `syntax::mut_visit`)
- shared definitions between `libsyntax_expand`
- feature gating (`syntax::feature_gate`) -- we could possibly move this out to its own crater later.
- attribute and meta item utilities, including used-marking (`syntax::attr`)
- pretty printer (`syntax::print`) -- this should possibly be moved out later. For now I've reduced down the dependencies to a single essential one which could be broken via `ParseSess`. This entails that e.g. `Debug` impls for `Path` cannot reference the pretty printer.
- definition of `ParseSess` (`syntax::sess`) -- this is used by `syntax::{attr, print, feature_gate}` and is a common definition used by the parser and other things like librustc.
- the `syntax::source_map` -- this includes definitions used by `syntax::ast` and other things but could ostensibly be moved `syntax_pos` since that is more related to this module.
- a smattering of misc utilities not sufficiently important to itemize -- some of these could be moved to where they are used (often a single place) but I wanted to limit the scope of this PR.
- librustc_parse:
- parser (`rustc_parse::parser`) -- reading a file and such are defined in the crate root tho.
- lexer (`rustc_parse::lexer`)
- validation of meta grammar (post-expansion) in (`rustc_parse::validate_attr`)
- libsyntax_expand -- this defines the infra for macro expansion and conditional compilation but this is not libsyntax_ext; we might want to merge them later but currently libsyntax_expand is depended on by librustc_metadata which libsyntax_ext is not.
- conditional compilation (`syntax_expand::config`) -- moved from `syntax::config` to here
- the bulk of this crate is made up of the old `syntax::ext`
