make `mk_attr_id` part of `ParseSess`

Updates #48685

The current `mk_attr_id` uses the `AtomicU32` type, which is not very efficient and adds a lot of lock contention in a parallel environment.

This PR refers to the task list in #48685, uses `mk_attr_id` as a method of the `AttrIdGenerator` struct, and adds a new field `attr_id_generator` to `ParseSess`.

`AttrIdGenerator` uses the `WorkerLocal`, which has two advantages: 1. `Cell` is more efficient than `AtomicU32`, and does not increase any lock contention. 2. We put the index of the work thread in the first few bits of the generated `AttrId`, so that the `AttrId` generated in different threads can be easily guaranteed to be unique.

README.md

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:
