Rollup merge of #73182 - Aaron1011:feature/call-fn-span, r=matthewjasper
Track span of function in method calls, and use this in #[track_caller]

Fixes #69977

When we parse a chain of method calls like `foo.a().b().c()`, each
`MethodCallExpr` gets assigned a span that starts at the beginning of
the call chain (`foo`). While this is useful for diagnostics, it means
that `Location::caller` will return the same location for every call
in a call chain.

This PR makes us separately record the span of the function name and
arguments for a method call (e.g. `b()` in `foo.a().b().c()`). This
`Span` is passed through HIR lowering and MIR building to
`TerminatorKind::Call`, where it is used in preference to
`Terminator.source_info.span` when determining `Location::caller`.

This new span is also useful for diagnostics where we want to emphasize
a particular method call - for an example, see

The rustc_ast crate contains those things concerned purely with syntax that is, the AST ("abstract syntax tree"), parser, pretty-printer, lexer, macro expander, and utilities for traversing ASTs.

For more information about how these things work in rustc, see the rustc dev guide:
