Allow legacy custom derive authors to disable warnings in downstream crates
This PR allows legacy custom derive authors to use a pre-deprecated method `registry.register_custom_derive()` instead of `registry.register_syntax_extension()` to avoid downstream deprecation warnings.

Clean up `ast::Attribute`, `ast::CrateConfig`, and string interning
This PR
- removes `ast::Attribute_` (changing `Attribute` from `Spanned<Attribute_>` to a struct),
- moves a `MetaItem`'s name from the `MetaItemKind` variants to a field of `MetaItem`,
- avoids needlessly wrapping `ast::MetaItem` with `P`,
- moves string interning into `syntax::symbol` (`ast::Name` is a reexport of `symbol::Symbol` for now),
- replaces `InternedString` with `Symbol` in the AST, HIR, and various other places, and
- refactors `ast::CrateConfig` from a `Vec` to a `HashSet`.

Fix regression involving custom derives on items with `$crate`
The regression was introduced in #37213.
I believe we cannot make the improvements from #37213 work with the current custom derive setup (c.f. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/37637#issuecomment-258959145) -- we'll have to wait for `TokenStream`'s API to improve.
Fixes#37637.

macros: improve shadowing checks
This PR improves macro-expanded shadowing checks to work with out-of-(pre)order expansion.
Out-of-order expansion became possible in #37084, so this technically a [breaking-change] for nightly.
The regression test from this PR is an example of code that would break.

Enforce the shadowing restrictions from RFC 1560 for today's macros
This PR enforces a weakened version of the shadowing restrictions from RFC 1560. More specifically,
- If a macro expansion contains a `macro_rules!` macro definition that is used outside of the expansion, the defined macro may not shadow an existing macro.
- If a macro expansion contains a `#[macro_use] extern crate` macro import that is used outside of the expansion, the imported macro may not shadow an existing macro.
This is a [breaking-change]. For example,
```rust
macro_rules! m { () => {} }
macro_rules! n { () => {
macro_rules! m { () => {} } //< This shadows an existing macro.
m!(); //< This is inside the expansion that generated `m`'s definition, so it is OK.
} }
n!();
m!(); //< This use of `m` is outside the expansion, so it causes the shadowing to be an error.
```
