eb4cbd55a8 Add an ItemModifier syntax extension type
Where ItemDecorator creates new items given a single item, ItemModifier
alters the tagged item in place. The expansion rules for this are a bit
weird, but I think are the most reasonable option available.

When an item is expanded, all ItemModifier attributes are stripped from
it and the item is folded through all ItemModifiers. At that point, the
process repeats until there are no ItemModifiers in the new item.

a41b0c2529 extern mod => extern crate
This was previously implemented, and it just needed a snapshot to go through

ab5bbd3c17 Simplify and rename macro API
Now that procedural macros can be implemented outside of the compiler,
it's more important to have a reasonable API to work with. Here are the
basic changes:

* Rename SyntaxExpanderTTTrait to MacroExpander, SyntaxExpanderTT to
    BasicMacroExpander, etc. I think "procedural macro" is the right
    term for these now, right? The other option would be SynExtExpander
    or something like that.

* Stop passing the SyntaxContext to extensions. This was only ever used
    by macro_rules, which doesn't even use it anymore. I can't think of
    a context in which an external extension would need it, and removal
    allows the API to be significantly simpler - no more
    SyntaxExpanderTTItemExpanderWithoutContext wrappers to worry about.

bd469341eb test: Add the ability to force a host target
The new macro loading infrastructure needs the ability to force a
procedural-macro crate to be built with the host architecture rather than the
target architecture (because the compiler is just about to dlopen it).
