Forbid pub mymacro!();

It's not clear what this means, because a macro in item position can expand to
zero or more items.  For now we disallow it, which is technically a

    [breaking-change]

but is landing without an RFC.  The `pub` keyword previously had no effect,
which seems quite unintended.

Fixes #18317.
Fixes #14660.
