In the common case, the string value in a string literal Token is the
same as the string value in a string literal LitKind. (The exception is
when escapes or \r are involved.) This patch takes advantage of that to
avoid calling str_lit() and re-interning the string in that case. This
speeds up incremental builds for a few of the rustc-benchmarks, the best
by 3%.
`char_lit` uses an allocation in order to ignore '_' chars in \u{...}
literals. This patch changes it to not do that by processing the chars
more directly.
This improves various rustc-perf benchmark measurements by up to 6%,
particularly regex, futures, clap, coercions, hyper, and encoding.
Do not emit type errors on recovered blocks
When a parse error occurs on a block, the parser will recover and create
a block with the statements collected until that point. Now a flag
stating that a recovery has been performed in this block is propagated
so that the type checker knows that the type of the block (which will be
identified as `()`) shouldn't be checked against the expectation to
reduce the amount of irrelevant diagnostic errors shown to the user.
Fix#44579.

The Generics now contain one Vec of an enum for the generic parameters,
rather than two separate Vec's for lifetime and type parameters.
Additionally, places that previously used Vec<LifetimeDef> now use
Vec<GenericParam> instead.
This PR kicks off the implementation of the [default binding modes RFC][1] by
introducing the `pat_binding_modes` typeck table mentioned in the [mentoring
instructions][2].
`pat_binding_modes` is populated in `librustc_typeck/check/_match.rs` and
used wherever the HIR would be scraped prior to this PR. Unfortunately, one
blemish, namely a two callers to `contains_explicit_ref_binding`, remains.
This will likely have to be removed when the second part of [1], the
`pat_adjustments` table, is tackled. Appropriate comments have been added.
See #42640.

Add Span to ast::WhereClause
This PR adds `Span` field to `ast::WhereClause`. The motivation here is to make rustfmt's life easier when recovering comments before and after where clause.
r? @nrc
This is then later used by `proc_macro` to generate a new
`proc_macro::TokenTree` which preserves span information. Unfortunately this
isn't a bullet-proof approach as it doesn't handle the case when there's still
other attributes on the item, especially inner attributes.
Despite this the intention here is to solve the primary use case for procedural
attributes, attached to functions as outer attributes, likely bare. In this
situation we should be able to now yield a lossless stream of tokens to preserve
span information.
This is useful if parsing from stdin or a String and don't want to try and read in a module from another file. Instead we just leave a stub in the AST.
