Remove `token::Lit` from `ast::MetaItemLit`.
Currently `ast::MetaItemLit` represents the literal kind twice. This PR removes that redundancy. Best reviewed one commit at a time.
r? `@petrochenkov`
It has a single call site in the HIR pretty printer, where the resulting
token lit is immediately converted to a string.
This commit replaces `LitKind::synthesize_token_lit` with a `Display`
impl for `LitKind`, which can be used by the HIR pretty printer.
There are better ways to create the meta items.
- In the rustdoc tests, the commit adds `dummy_meta_item_name_value`,
which matches the existing `dummy_meta_item_word` function and
`dummy_meta_item_list` macro.
- In `types.rs` the commit clones the existing meta item and then
modifies the clone.
Remove useless borrows and derefs
They are nothing more than noise.

`token::Lit` contains a `kind` field that indicates what kind of literal
it is. `ast::MetaItemLit` currently wraps a `token::Lit` but also has
its own `kind` field. This means that `ast::MetaItemLit` encodes the
literal kind in two different ways.
This commit changes `ast::MetaItemLit` so it no longer wraps
`token::Lit`. It now contains the `symbol` and `suffix` fields from
`token::Lit`, but not the `kind` field, eliminating the redundancy.
This is required to distinguish between cooked and raw byte string
literals in an `ast::LitKind`, without referring to an adjacent
`token::Lit`. It's a prerequisite for the next commit.
Lower them into a single item with multiple resolutions instead.
This also allows to remove additional `NodId`s and `DefId`s related to those additional items.
There is code for converting `Attribute` (syntactic) to `MetaItem`
(semantic). There is also code for the reverse direction. The reverse
direction isn't really necessary; it's currently only used when
generating attributes, e.g. in `derive` code.
This commit adds some new functions for creating `Attributes`s directly,
without involving `MetaItem`s: `mk_attr_word`, `mk_attr_name_value_str`,
`mk_attr_nested_word`, and
`ExtCtxt::attr_{word,name_value_str,nested_word}`.
These new methods replace the old functions for creating `Attribute`s:
`mk_attr_inner`, `mk_attr_outer`, and `ExtCtxt::attribute`. Those
functions took `MetaItem`s as input, and relied on many other functions
that created `MetaItems`, which are also removed: `mk_name_value_item`,
`mk_list_item`, `mk_word_item`, `mk_nested_word_item`,
`{MetaItem,MetaItemKind,NestedMetaItem}::token_trees`,
`MetaItemKind::attr_args`, `MetaItemLit::{from_lit_kind,to_token}`,
`ExtCtxt::meta_word`.
Overall this cuts more than 100 lines of code and makes thing simpler.
`Lit::from_included_bytes` calls `Lit::from_lit_kind`, but the two call
sites only need the resulting `token::Lit`, not the full `ast::Lit`.
This commit changes those call sites to use `LitKind::to_token_lit`,
which means `from_included_bytes` can be removed.
`MacArgs` is an enum with three variants: `Empty`, `Delimited`, and `Eq`. It's
used in two ways:
- For representing attribute macro arguments (e.g. in `AttrItem`), where all
three variants are used.
- For representing function-like macros (e.g. in `MacCall` and `MacroDef`),
where only the `Delimited` variant is used.
In other words, `MacArgs` is used in two quite different places due to them
having partial overlap. I find this makes the code hard to read. It also leads
to various unreachable code paths, and allows invalid values (such as
accidentally using `MacArgs::Empty` in a `MacCall`).
This commit splits `MacArgs` in two:
- `DelimArgs` is a new struct just for the "delimited arguments" case. It is
now used in `MacCall` and `MacroDef`.
- `AttrArgs` is a renaming of the old `MacArgs` enum for the attribute macro
case. Its `Delimited` variant now contains a `DelimArgs`.
Various other related things are renamed as well.
These changes make the code clearer, avoids several unreachable paths, and
disallows the invalid values.
Instead of `ast::Lit`.
Literal lowering now happens at two different times. Expression literals
are lowered when HIR is crated. Attribute literals are lowered during
parsing.
This commit changes the language very slightly. Some programs that used
to not compile now will compile. This is because some invalid literals
that are removed by `cfg` or attribute macros will no longer trigger
errors. See this comment for more details:

Recover wrong-cased keywords that start items
(_this pr was inspired by [this tweet](https://twitter.com/Azumanga/status/1552982326409367561)_)
r? `@estebank`
We've talked a bit about this recovery, but I just wanted to make sure that this is the right approach :)
For now I've only added the case insensitive recovery to `use`s, since most other items like `impl` blocks, modules, functions can start with multiple keywords which complicates the matter.
