Extract `rustc_hir` out of `rustc`
The new crate contains:
```rust
pub mod def;
pub mod def_id;
mod hir;
pub mod hir_id;
pub mod itemlikevisit;
pub mod pat_util;
pub mod print;
mod stable_hash_impls;
pub use hir::*;
pub use hir_id::*;
pub use stable_hash_impls::HashStableContext;
```
Remains to be done in follow-up PRs:
- Move `rustc::hir::map` into `rustc_hir_map` -- this has to be a separate crate due to the `dep_graph` (blocked on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/67761).
- Move references to `rustc::hir` to `rustc_hir` where possible.

Feature gating *declarations* => new crate `rustc_feature`
This PR moves the data-oriented parts of feature gating into its own crate, `rustc_feature`.
The parts consist of some data types as well as `accepted`, `active`, `removed`, and `builtin_attrs`.
Feature gate checking itself remains in `syntax::feature_gate::check`. The parts which define how to emit feature gate errors could probably be moved to `rustc_errors` or to the new `rustc_session` crate introduced in #66878. The visitor itself could probably be moved as a pass in `rustc_passes` depending on how the dependency edges work out.
The PR also contains some drive-by cleanup of feature gate checking. As such, the PR probably best read commit-by-commit.

Push `ast::{ItemKind, ImplItemKind}::OpaqueTy` hack down into lowering
We currently have a hack in the form of `ast::{ItemKind, ImplItemKind}::OpaqueTy` which is constructed literally when you write `type Alias = impl Trait;` but not e.g. `type Alias = Vec<impl Trait>;`. Per https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/2515, this needs to change to allow `impl Trait` in nested positions. This PR achieves this change for the syntactic aspect but not the semantic one, which will require changes in lowering and def collection. In the interim, `TyKind::opaque_top_hack` is introduced to avoid knock-on changes in lowering, collection, and resolve. These hacks can then be removed and fixed one by one until the desired semantics are supported.

Support registering inert attributes and attribute tools using crate-level attributes
And remove `#[feature(custom_attribute)]`.
(`rustc_plugin::Registry::register_attribute` is not removed yet, I'll do it in a follow up PR.)
```rust
#![register_attr(my_attr)]
#![register_tool(my_tool)]
#[my_attr] // OK
#[my_tool::anything] // OK
fn main() {}
```

Some tools (`rustfmt` and `clippy`) used in tool attributes are hardcoded in the compiler.
We need some way to introduce them without hardcoding as well.
This PR introduces a way to do it with a crate level attribute.
The previous attempt to introduce them through command line (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/57921) met some resistance.
This probably needs to go through an RFC before stabilization.
However, I'd prefer to land *this* PR without an RFC to able to remove `#[feature(custom_attribute)]` and `Registry::register_attribute` while also providing a replacement.
---
`register_attr` is a direct replacement for `#![feature(custom_attribute)]` (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/29642), except it doesn't rely on implicit fallback from unresolved attributes to custom attributes (which was always hacky and is the primary reason for the removal of `custom_attribute`) and requires registering the attribute explicitly.
It's not clear whether it should go through stabilization or not.
It's quite possible that all the uses should migrate to `#![register_tool]` (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/66079) instead.
---
Details:
- The naming is `register_attr`/`register_tool` rather than some `register_attributes` (plural, no abbreviation) for consistency with already existing attributes like `cfg_attr`, or `feature`, etc.

Closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/29642
`AttrKind` is a new type with two variants, `Normal` and `DocComment`. It's a
big performance win (over 10% in some cases) because `DocComment` lets doc
comments (which are common) be represented very cheaply.
`Attribute` gets some new helper methods to ease the transition:
- `has_name()`: check if the attribute name matches a single `Symbol`; for
`DocComment` variants it succeeds if the symbol is `sym::doc`.
- `is_doc_comment()`: check if it has a `DocComment` kind.
- `{get,unwrap}_normal_item()`: extract the item from a `Normal` variant;
panic otherwise.
Fixes#60935.
