Stabilize --extern flag without a path.
This stabilizes the `--extern` flag without a path, implemented in #54116.
This flag is used to add a crate that may be found in the search path to the extern prelude. The intent of stabilizing this now is to change Cargo to emit this flag for `proc_macro` when building a proc-macro crate. This will allow the ability to elide `extern crate proc_macro;` for proc-macros, one of the few places where it is still necessary.
It is intended that Cargo may also use this flag for other cases in the future as part of the [std-aware work](https://github.com/rust-lang/wg-cargo-std-aware/). There will likely be some kind of syntax where users may declare dependencies on other crates (such as `alloc`), and Cargo will use this flag so that they may be used like any other crate. At this time there are no short-term plans to use it for anything other than proc-macro.
This will not help for non-proc-macro crates that use `proc_macro`, which I believe is not too common?
An alternate approach for proc-macro is to use the `meta` crate, but from my inquiries there doesn't appear to be anyone interested in pushing that forward. The `meta` crate also doesn't help with things like `alloc` or `test`.

Currently the `RUST_CONFIGURE_ARGS` variable apparently has a trailing
newline at the end of it due to the way it's configured in yaml. This
causes issues with MSVC's `install-clang.sh` step where the way the bash
syntax works out means that we drop the arg we're trying to add and it
doesn't actually get added!
The hopeful fix here is to tweak how we specify the yaml syntax to not
have a trailing newline, we'll see what CI says about this...
invalid_value lint: fix help text
Now that we also warn about `MaybUninit::uninit().assume_init()`, just telling people "use `MaybeUninit`" isn't always sufficient. And anyway this seems like an important enough point to mention it here.

I documented a few and added ignore flags on the other files. We can incrementally document the files, but won't regress any files this way.
Add future incompatibility lint for `array.into_iter()`
This is for #65819. This lint warns when calling `into_iter` on an array directly. That's because today the method call resolves to `<&[T] as IntoIterator>::into_iter` but that would change when adding `IntoIterator` impls for arrays. This problem is discussed in detail in #65819.
We still haven't decided how to proceed exactly, but it seems like adding a lint is a good idea regardless?
Also: this is the first time I implement a lint, so there are probably a lot of things I can improve. I used a different strategy than @scottmcm describes [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/65819#issuecomment-548667847) since I already started implementing this before they commented.
### TODO
- [x] Decide if we want this lint -> apparently [we want](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/65819#issuecomment-548964818)
- [x] Open a lint-tracking-issue and add the correct issue number in the code -> https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/66145
A scheme for more macro-matcher friendly pre-expansion gating
Pre-expansion gating will now avoid gating macro matchers that did not result in `Success(...)`. That is, the following is now OK despite `box 42` being a valid `expr` and that form being pre-expansion gated:
```rust
macro_rules! m {
($e:expr) => { 0 }; // This fails on the input below due to `, foo`.
(box $e:expr, foo) => { 1 }; // Successful matcher, we should get `2`.
}
fn main() {
assert_eq!(1, m!(box 42, foo));
}
```
Closes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/65846.

syntax: ABI-oblivious grammar
This PR has the following effects:
1. `extern $lit` is now legal where `$lit:literal` and `$lit` is substituted for a string literal.
2. `extern "abi_that_does_not_exist"` is now *syntactically* legal whereas before, the set of ABI strings was hard-coded into the grammar of the language. With this PR, the set of ABIs are instead validated and translated during lowering. That seems more appropriate.
3. `ast::FloatTy` is now distinct from `rustc_target::abi::FloatTy`. The former is used substantially more and the translation between them is only necessary in a single place.
4. As a result of 2-3, libsyntax no longer depends on librustc_target, which should improve pipe-lining somewhat.
cc @rust-lang/lang -- the points 1-2 slightly change the definition of the language but in a way which seems consistent with our general principles (in particular wrt. the discussions of turning things into semantic errors). I expect this to be uncontroversial but it's worth letting y'all know. :)

Use structured suggestions for missing associated items
When encountering an `impl` that is missing associated items required by its `trait`, use structured suggestions at an appropriate place in the `impl`.
