This removes some unnecessary allocations in the lexer, the typechecker and the metadata decoder. Reduces the time spent in the parsing and typechecking passes by about 10% for me.
As the comment said, the subtraction is bogus for multibyte characters.
Fortunately, we can just use last_pos instead of pos to get the correct
position without any subtraction hackery.
Fix a laundry list of warnings involving unused imports that glutted
up compilation output. There are more, but there seems to be some
false positives (where 'remedy' appears to break the build), but this
particular set of fixes seems safe.

Changes the int/uint modules to all use macros instead of using the `merge` attribute. It would be nice to have #4375 resolved as well for this, but that can probably come at a later date.
Closes#4219.
Currently, keywords are stored in hashsets that are recreated for every
Parser instance, which is quite expensive since macro expansion creates
lots of them. Additionally, the parser functions that look for a keyword
currently accept a string and have a runtime check to validate that they
actually received a keyword.
By creating an enum for the keywords and inserting them into the
ident interner, we can avoid the creation of the hashsets and get static
checks for the keywords.
For libstd, this cuts the parse+expansion part from ~2.6s to ~1.6s.
There's currently a function in the lexer that rejects a line comment that is all slashes from being a doc comment. I think the intention was that you could draw boxes,
/////////////
// like so //
/////////////
Since a line doc comment split up over multiple paragraphs will have a "blank" line that is just /// between the paragraphs, that would get mistaken for a box segment, lexed as a regular comment, and go missing from the sequence of doc comment attributes before they were reassembled by rustdoc into markdown input.
I figure the best plan here is to just declare that a comment that is exactly `///` is a doc comment after all, and to only omit comments with four slashes or more, which is what this commit implements. Can't really draw boxes that narrow, anyway.
