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 driver crate is effectively the "main" function for the rust
compiler. It orchestrates the compilation process and "knits together"
the code from the other crates within rustc. This crate itself does
not contain any of the "main logic" of the compiler (though it does
have some code related to pretty printing or other minor compiler
options).
For more information about how the driver works, see the rustc dev guide.
