Existing names for values of this type are `sess`, `parse_sess`, `parse_session`, and `ps`. `sess` is particularly annoying because that's also used for `Session` values, which are often co-located, and it can be difficult to know which type a value named `sess` refers to. (That annoyance is the main motivation for this change.) `psess` is nice and short, which is good for a name used this much. The commit also renames some `parse_sess_created` values as `psess_created`. |

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.
