This is a spiritual succesor to #34268/8531d581, in which we replaced a
number of matches of None to the unit value with `if let` conditionals
where it was judged that this made for clearer/simpler code (as would be
recommended by Manishearth/rust-clippy's `single_match` lint). The same
rationale applies to matches of None to the empty block.
This PR refactors the 'errors' part of libsyntax into its own crate (librustc_errors). This is the first part of a few refactorings to simplify error reporting and potentially support more output formats (like a standardized JSON output and possibly an --explain mode that can work with the user's code), though this PR stands on its own and doesn't assume further changes.
As part of separating out the errors crate, I have also refactored the code position portion of codemap into its own crate (libsyntax_pos). While it's helpful to have the common code positions in a separate crate for the new errors crate, this may also enable further simplifications in the future.

New `TraitItemKind::Macro` variant
This change adds support for macro expansion inside trait items by adding the new `TraitItemKind::Macro` and associated parsing code.
When items are inlined from extern crates, the filename in the debug info
is taken from the FileMap that's serialized in the rlib metadata.
Currently this is just FileMap.name, which is whatever path is passed to rustc.
Since libcore and libstd are built by invoking rustc with relative paths,
they wind up with relative paths in the rlib, and when linked into a binary
the debug info uses relative paths for the names, but since the compilation
directory for the final binary, tools trying to read source filenames
will wind up with bad paths. We noticed this in Firefox with source
filenames from libcore/libstd having bad paths.
This change stores an absolute path in FileMap.abs_path, and uses that
if available for writing debug info. This is not going to magically make
debuggers able to find the source, but it will at least provide sensible
paths.
save-analysis: be a bit more defensive with field sub-expressions
Prevents an ice with `(...).f` since the sub-expression is in the AST but not the HIR.
We could actually do better in this specific case, but it doesn't seem worth it.

save-analysis: use a decoupled representation for dumped data
Closes#33348
This will probably break any tool relying on the csv backend of save_analysis, for the following reasons:
1. Dumped spans don't contain extents anymore (`Dump` uses `SpanData` now instead of internal `Span`s). In case we still want to dump extents we could add them to `SpanData`.
1. `DefId`s are no longer dumped as a pair of `(ref_id, ref_crate)`. Instead, they are dumped as a single `Id`.
@nrc You said something about storing the id in a `u64`, but you didn't explain why. I kept using `u32` in this branch but I can change it if you prefer that.
r? @nrc
By the way, the fact that this breaks tools relying on CSV may be a good occasion to start dumping CSV in a different way (i.e. using the serializer like in the JSON backend).
In fact, we make JSOn the default and add an option for save-analysis-csv for the legacy behaviour.
We also rename some bits and pieces `dxr` -> `save-analysis`
Paths are mostly parsed without taking whitespaces into account, e.g. `std :: vec :: Vec :: new ()` parses successfully, however, there are some special cases involving keywords `super`, `self` and `Self`. For example, `self::` is considered a path start only if there are no spaces between `self` and `::`. These restrictions probably made sense when `self` and friends weren't keywords, but now they are unnecessary.
The first two commits remove this special treatment of whitespaces by removing `token::IdentStyle` entirely and therefore fix https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/14109.
This change also affects naked `self` and `super` (which are not tightly followed by `::`, obviously) they can now be parsed as paths, however they are still not resolved correctly in imports (cc @jseyfried, see `compile-fail/use-keyword.rs`), so https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/29036 is not completely fixed.
The third commit also makes `super`, `self`, `Self` and `static` keywords nominally (before this they acted as keywords for all purposes) and removes most of remaining \"special idents\".
The last commit (before tests) contains some small improvements - some qualified paths with type parameters are parsed correctly, `parse_path` is not used for parsing single identifiers, imports are sanity checked for absence of type parameters - such type parameters can be generated by syntax extensions or by macros when https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/10415 is fixed (~~soon!~~already!).
This patch changes some pretty basic things in `libsyntax`, like `token::Token` and the keyword list, so it's a plugin-[breaking-change].
