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.

Rework raw ident suggestions
Use heuristics to determine whethersuggesting raw identifiers is

Account for raw identifiers when printing a path in a `use` suggestion.
Fix#66126.
Generic arg disambiguation
Using the tactic suggested by @petrochenkov in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/60804#issuecomment-516769465 and on [zulip](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/131828-t-compiler/topic/generic.20argument.20disambiguation), this change checks type arguments to see if they are really incorrectly-parsed const arguments.
it should be noted that `segments.len() == 1 && segments[0].arg.is_none()` was reduced to `segments.len() == 1` as suggested by @petrochenkov in [zulip](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/131828-t-compiler/topic/generic.20argument.20disambiguation/near/177848002). This change allowed a few more existing tests to have their braces removed.
There are a couple of "problems" with these changes that I should note. First, there was a regression in the error messages found in "src/test/ui/privacy-ns1.rs" and "src/test/ui/privacy-ns1.rs". Second, some braces were unable to be removed from "src/test/ui/const-generics/fn-const-param-infer.rs". Those on line 24 caused the statement to stop equating when removed, and those on line 20 cause a statement that should not equate to produce no error when removed.
I have not looked further into any of these issues yet, though I would be willing to look into them before landing this. I simply wanted to get some other eyes on this before going further.
Fixes#60804

A path type argument could be a generic const argument due to
limitations as to what we can determine at parsing. We double check just
to be sure by trying to resolve in the type namespace first, and if that
fails we try again in the value namespace. If resolution in the value
namespace succeeds, we have a generic const argument on our hands.
rustc_plugin: Remove `Registry::register_attribute`
Legacy plugins cannot register inert attributes anymore.
The preferred replacement is to use `register_tool` ([tracking issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/66079)).
```rust
#![register_tool(servo)]
#[servo::must_root]
struct S;
```
The more direct replacement is `register_attribute` ([tracking issue](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/66080))
```rust
#![register_attr(must_root)]
#[must_root]
struct S;
```
, but it requires registering each attribute individually rather than registering the tool once, and is more likely to be removed rather than stabilized.
These helpers are resolved before their respective derives through a kind of look ahead into future expansions.
Some of these will migrate to proper resolution, others will be deprecated.
```
#[trait_helper] // Deprecate
#[derive(Trait)]
#[trait_helper] // Migrate to proper resolution
```
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.

This function was only ever called with 1 so there's little point in it;
this isn't an expensive operation (essentially a checked add) so we're
not really "reserving" anything either.
`MethodSig` -> `FnSig` & Use it in `ItemKind::Fn`
In both AST & HIR, rename `MethodSig` to `FnSig` and then proceed to use it in `ItemKind::Fn` so that the overall structure is more regular.

`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.
