Alex Crichton d4d276faaf Rollup merge of #38842 - abonander:proc_macro_attribute, r=jseyfried
Implement `#[proc_macro_attribute]`

This implements `#[proc_macro_attribute]` as described in https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/1566

The following major (hopefully non-breaking) changes are included:

* Refactor `proc_macro::TokenStream` to use `syntax::tokenstream::TokenStream`.
    * `proc_macro::tokenstream::TokenStream` no longer emits newlines between items, this can be trivially restored if desired
    * `proc_macro::TokenStream::from_str` does not try to parse an item anymore, moved to `impl MultiItemModifier for CustomDerive` with more informative error message

* Implement `#[proc_macro_attribute]`, which expects functions of the kind `fn(TokenStream, TokenStream) -> TokenStream`
    * Reactivated `#![feature(proc_macro)]` and gated `#[proc_macro_attribute]` under it
    * `#![feature(proc_macro)]` and `#![feature(custom_attribute)]` are mutually exclusive
    * adding `#![feature(proc_macro)]` makes the expansion pass assume that any attributes that are not built-in, or introduced by existing syntax extensions, are proc-macro attributes

* Fix `feature_gate::find_lang_feature_issue()` to not use `unwrap()`

    * This change wasn't necessary for this PR, but it helped debugging a problem where I was using the wrong feature string.

* Move "completed feature gate checking" pass to after "name resolution" pass

    * This was necessary for proper feature-gating of `#[proc_macro_attribute]` invocations when the `proc_macro` feature flag isn't set.
