This PR refactors the 'errors' part of libsyntax into its own crate (librustc_errors). This is the first part of a few refactorings to simplify error reporting and potentially support more output formats (like a standardized JSON output and possibly an --explain mode that can work with the user's code), though this PR stands on its own and doesn't assume further changes.
As part of separating out the errors crate, I have also refactored the code position portion of codemap into its own crate (libsyntax_pos). While it's helpful to have the common code positions in a separate crate for the new errors crate, this may also enable further simplifications in the future.

New `TraitItemKind::Macro` variant
This change adds support for macro expansion inside trait items by adding the new `TraitItemKind::Macro` and associated parsing code.
Add AST validation pass and move some checks to it
The purpose of this pass is to catch constructions that fit into AST data structures, but not permitted by the language. As an example, `impl`s don't have visibilities, but for convenience and uniformity with other items they are represented with a structure `Item` which has `Visibility` field.
This pass is intended to run after expansion of macros and syntax extensions (and before lowering to HIR), so it can catch erroneous constructions that were generated by them. This pass allows to remove ad hoc semantic checks from the parser, which can be overruled by syntax extensions and occasionally macros.
The checks can be put here if they are simple, local, don't require results of any complex analysis like name resolution or type checking and maybe don't logically fall into other passes. I expect most of errors generated by this pass to be non-fatal and allowing the compilation to proceed.
I intend to move some more checks to this pass later and maybe extend it with new checks, like, for example, identifier validity. Given that syntax extensions are going to be stabilized in the measurable future, it's important that they would not be able to subvert usual language rules.
In this patch I've added two new checks - a check for labels named `'static` and a check for lifetimes and labels named `'_`. The first one gives a hard error, the second one - a future compatibility warning.

resolve: record pattern def when `resolve_pattern` returns `Err(true)`
I propose a fix for issue #33293.
In 1a374b8, (pr #33046) fixed the error reporting of a specific case, but the change that was introduced did not make sure that `record_def` was called in all cases, which lead to an ICE in [1].
This change restores the original `else` case, but keeps the changes that were committed in 1a374b8.

This makes the \"shadowing labels\" warning *not* print the entire loop as a span, but only the lifetime.
Also makes #31719 go away, but does not fix its root cause (the span of the expanded loop is still wonky, but not used anymore).

Remove ExplicitSelf from HIR
`self` argument is already kept in the argument list and can be retrieved from there if necessary, so there's no need for the duplication.
The same changes can be applied to AST, I'll make them in the next breaking batch.
The first commit also improves parsing of method declarations and fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/33413.

Batch of improvements to errors for new error format
This is a batch of improvements to existing errors to help get the most out of the new error format.
* Added labels to primary spans (^^^) for a set of errors that didn't currently have them
* Highlight the source blue under the secondary notes for better readability
* Move some of the "Note:" into secondary spans+labels
* Fix span_label to take &mut instead, which makes it work the same as other methods in that set
re-introduce a cache for ast-ty-to-ty
It turns out that `ast_ty_to_ty` is supposed to be updating the `def`
after it finishes, but at some point in the past it stopped doing
so. This was never noticed because of the `ast_ty_to_ty_cache`, but that
cache was recently removed. This PR fixes the code to update the def
properly, but apparently that is not quite enough to make the operation
idempotent, so for now we reintroduce the cache too.
Fixes#33586.
