Remove edition umbrella features.
In the 2018 edition, there was an "umbrella" feature `#[feature(rust_2018_preview)]` which was used to enable several other features at once. This umbrella mechanism was not used in the 2021 edition and likely will not be used in 2024 either. During 2018 users reported that setting the feature was awkward, especially since they already needed to opt-in via the edition mechanism.
This PR removes this mechanism because I believe it will not be used (and will clean up and simplify the code). I believe that there are better ways to handle features and editions. In short:
- For highly experimental features, that may or may not be involved in an edition, they can implement regular feature gates like `tcx.features().my_feature`.
- For experimental features that *might* be involved in an edition, they should implement gates with `tcx.features().my_feature && span.at_least_rust_20xx()`. This requires the user to still specify `#![feature(my_feature)]`, to avoid disrupting testing of other edition features which are ready and have been accepted within the edition.
- For experimental features that have graduated to definitely be part of an edition, they should implement gates with `tcx.features().my_feature || span.at_least_rust_20xx()`, or just remove the feature check altogether and just check `span.at_least_rust_20xx()`.
- For relatively simple changes, they can skip the whole feature gating thing and just check `span.at_least_rust_20xx()`, and rely on the instability of the edition itself (which requires `-Zunstable-options`) to gate it.
I am working on documenting all of this in the rustc-dev-guide.
This is an extension of the previous commit. It means the output of
something like this:
```
stringify!(let a: Vec<u32> = vec![];)
```
goes from this:
```
let a: Vec<u32> = vec![] ;
```
With this PR, it now produces this string:
```
let a: Vec<u32> = vec![];
```
detects redundant imports that can be eliminated.
for #117772 :
In order to facilitate review and modification, split the checking code and
removing redundant imports code into two PR.
Introduce support for `async gen` blocks
I'm delighted to demonstrate that `async gen` block are not very difficult to support. They're simply coroutines that yield `Poll<Option<T>>` and return `()`.
**This PR is WIP and in draft mode for now** -- I'm mostly putting it up to show folks that it's possible. This PR needs a lang-team experiment associated with it or possible an RFC, since I don't think it falls under the jurisdiction of the `gen` RFC that was recently authored by oli (https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/3513, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/117078).
### Technical note on the pre-generator-transform yield type:
The reason that the underlying coroutines yield `Poll<Option<T>>` and not `Poll<T>` (which would make more sense, IMO, for the pre-transformed coroutine), is because the `TransformVisitor` that is used to turn coroutines into built-in state machine functions would have to destructure and reconstruct the latter into the former, which requires at least inserting a new basic block (for a `switchInt` terminator, to match on the `Poll` discriminant).
This does mean that the desugaring (at the `rustc_ast_lowering` level) of `async gen` blocks is a bit more involved. However, since we already need to intercept both `.await` and `yield` operators, I don't consider it much of a technical burden.

never_patterns: Parse match arms with no body
Never patterns are meant to signal unreachable cases, and thus don't take bodies:
```rust
let ptr: *const Option<!> = ...;
match *ptr {
None => { foo(); }
Some(!),
}
```
This PR makes rustc accept the above, and enforces that an arm has a body xor is a never pattern. This affects parsing of match arms even with the feature off, so this is delicate. (Plus this is my first non-trivial change to the parser).
~~The last commit is optional; it introduces a bit of churn to allow the new suggestions to be machine-applicable. There may be a better solution? I'm not sure.~~ EDIT: I removed that commit

Add `never_patterns` feature gate
This PR adds the feature gate and most basic parsing for the experimental `never_patterns` feature. See the tracking issue (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/118155) for details on the experiment.
`@scottmcm` has agreed to be my lang-team liaison for this experiment.
- Rename them both `as_str`, which is the typical name for a function
that returns a `&str`. (`to_string` is appropriate for functions
returning `String` or maybe `Cow<'a, str>`.)
- Change `UnOp::as_str` from an associated function (weird!) to a
method.
- Avoid needless `self` dereferences.

Improve spans for indexing expressions
fixes#114388
Indexing is similar to method calls in having an arbitrary left-hand-side and then something on the right, which is the main part of the expression. Method calls already have a span for that right part, but indexing does not. This means that long method chains that use indexing have really bad spans, especially when the indexing panics and that span in coverted into a panic location.
This does the same thing as method calls for the AST and HIR, storing an extra span which is then put into the `fn_span` field in THIR.

Lots of tiny incremental simplifications of `EmitterWriter` internals
ignore the first commit, it's https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/114088 squashed and rebased, but it's needed to use to use `derive_setters`, as they need a newer `syn` version.
Then this PR starts out with removing many arguments that are almost always defaulted to `None` or `false` and replace them with builder methods that can set these fields in the few cases that want to set them.
After that it's one commit after the other that removes or merges things until everything becomes some very simple trait objects

It's the same as `Delimiter`, minus the `Invisible` variant. I'm
generally in favour of using types to make impossible states
unrepresentable, but this one feels very low-value, and the conversions
between the two types are annoying and confusing.
Look at the change in `src/tools/rustfmt/src/expr.rs` for an example:
the old code converted from `MacDelimiter` to `Delimiter` and back
again, for no good reason. This suggests the author was confused about
the types.
Less `TokenTree` cloning
`TokenTreeCursor` has this comment on it:
```
// FIXME: Many uses of this can be replaced with by-reference iterator to avoid clones.
```
This PR completes that FIXME. It doesn't have much perf effect, but at least we now know that.

Currently, Clippy, Miri, Rustfmt, and rustc all use an environment variable to
indicate that output should be blessed, but they use different variable names.
In order to improve consistency, this patch applies the following changes:
- Emit `RUSTC_BLESS` within `prepare_cargo_test` so it is always
available
- Change usage of `MIRI_BLESS` in the Miri subtree to use `RUSTC_BLESS`
- Change usage of `BLESS` in the Clippy subtree to `RUSTC_BLESS`
- Change usage of `BLESS` in the Rustfmt subtree to `RUSTC_BLESS`
- Adjust the blessable test in `rustc_errors` to use this same
convention
- Update documentation where applicable
Any tools that uses `RUSTC_BLESS` should check that it is set to any value
other than `"0"`.
Implement rust-lang/compiler-team#578.
When an ICE is encountered on nightly releases, the new rustc panic
handler will also write the contents of the backtrace to disk. If any
`delay_span_bug`s are encountered, their backtrace is also added to the
file. The platform and rustc version will also be collected.
Syntactically accept `become` expressions (explicit tail calls experiment)
This adds `ast::ExprKind::Become`, implements parsing and properly gates the feature.

Make the BUG_REPORT_URL configurable by tools
This greatly simplifies how hard it is to set a custom bug report url; previously tools had to copy
the entire hook implementation.
I haven't changed clippy in case they want to make the change upstream instead of the subtree, but
I'm happy to do so here if the maintainers want - cc ````@rust-lang/clippy````
