Move `hir::Item::ident` into `hir::ItemKind`.
`hir::Item` has an `ident` field.
- It's always non-empty for these item kinds: `ExternCrate`, `Static`, `Const`, `Fn`, `Macro`, `Mod`, `TyAlias`, `Enum`, `Struct`, `Union`, Trait`, TraitAalis`.
- It's always empty for these item kinds: `ForeignMod`, `GlobalAsm`, `Impl`.
- For `Use`, it is non-empty for `UseKind::Single` and empty for `UseKind::{Glob,ListStem}`.
All of this is quite non-obvious; the only documentation is a single comment saying "The name might be a dummy name in case of anonymous items". Some sites that handle items check for an empty ident, some don't. This is a very C-like way of doing things, but this is Rust, we have sum types, we can do this properly and never forget to check for the exceptional case and never YOLO possibly empty identifiers (or possibly dummy spans) around and hope that things will work out.
This is step towards `kw::Empty` elimination (#137978).

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.
Why Rust?
-
Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.
-
Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.
-
Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
