Fixes#73026

The issue stems from a `FatalError` being silently raised in
`panictry_buffer`. Normally this is not a problem, because
`panictry_buffer` emits the causes of the error, but they are not
themselves fatal, so they get filtered out by the silent emitter.
To fix this, we use a parser entrypoint which doesn't use
`panictry_buffer`, and we handle the error ourselves.
Report fatal lexer errors in `--cfg` command line arguments
Fixes#89358. The erroneous behavior was apparently introduced by `@Mark-Simulacrum` in a678e31911; the idea is to silence individual parser errors and instead emit one catch-all error message after parsing. However, for the example in #89358, a fatal lexer error is created here:
edebf77e00/compiler/rustc_parse/src/lexer/mod.rs (L340-L349)
This fatal error aborts the compilation, and so the call to `new_parser_from_source_str()` never returns and the catch-all error message is never emitted. I have therefore changed the `SilentEmitter` to silence only non-fatal errors; with my changes, for the rustc invocation described in #89358:
```sh
rustc --cfg "abc\""
```
I get the following output:
```
error[E0765]: unterminated double quote string
|
= note: this error occurred on the command line: `--cfg=abc"`
```
