In some places we use `Vec<Attribute>` and some places we use `ThinVec<Attribute>` (a.k.a. `AttrVec`). This results in various points where we have to convert between `Vec` and `ThinVec`. This commit changes the places that use `Vec<Attribute>` to use `AttrVec`. A lot of this is mechanical and boring, but there are some interesting parts: - It adds a few new methods to `ThinVec`. - It implements `MapInPlace` for `ThinVec`, and introduces a macro to avoid the repetition of this trait for `Vec`, `SmallVec`, and `ThinVec`. Overall, it makes the code a little nicer, and has little effect on performance. But it is a precursor to removing `rustc_data_structures::thin_vec::ThinVec` and replacing it with `thin_vec::ThinVec`, which is implemented more efficiently. |

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:
