Begin fixing all the broken doctests in `compiler/` Begins to fix #95994. All of them pass now but 24 of them I've marked with `ignore HELP (<explanation>)` (asking for help) as I'm unsure how to get them to work / if we should leave them as they are. There are also a few that I marked `ignore` that could maybe be made to work but seem less important. Each `ignore` has a rough "reason" for ignoring after it parentheses, with - `(pseudo-rust)` meaning "mostly rust-like but contains foreign syntax" - `(illustrative)` a somewhat catchall for either a fragment of rust that doesn't stand on its own (like a lone type), or abbreviated rust with ellipses and undeclared types that would get too cluttered if made compile-worthy. - `(not-rust)` stuff that isn't rust but benefits from the syntax highlighting, like MIR. - `(internal)` uses `rustc_*` code which would be difficult to make work with the testing setup. Those reason notes are a bit inconsistently applied and messy though. If that's important I can go through them again and try a more principled approach. When I run `rg '```ignore \(' .` on the repo, there look to be lots of different conventions other people have used for this sort of thing. I could try unifying them all if that would be helpful. I'm not sure if there was a better existing way to do this but I wrote my own script to help me run all the doctests and wade through the output. If that would be useful to anyone else, I put it here: https://github.com/Elliot-Roberts/rust_doctest_fixing_tool |

The rustc_ast crate contains those things concerned purely with syntax
– that is, the AST ("abstract syntax tree"), along with some definitions for tokens and token streams, data structures/traits for mutating ASTs, and shared definitions for other AST-related parts of the compiler (like the lexer and macro-expansion).
For more information about how these things work in rustc, see the rustc dev guide:
