Namely: labels, type parameters, bindings in patterns, parameter names in functions without body.
All of these do not need hygiene after lowering to HIR, only span locations.
This is gated on edition 2018 & the `async_await` feature gate.
The parser will accept `async fn` and `async unsafe fn` as fn
items. Along the same lines as `const fn`, only `async unsafe fn`
is permitted, not `unsafe async fn`.The parser will not accept
`async` functions as trait methods.
To do a little code clean up, four fields of the function type
struct have been merged into the new `FnHeader` struct: constness,
asyncness, unsafety, and ABI.
Also, a small bug in HIR printing is fixed: it previously printed
`const unsafe fn` as `unsafe const fn`, which is grammatically
incorrect.
Add existential type definitions
Note: this does not allow creating named existential types, it just desugars `impl Trait` to a less (but still very) hacky version of actual `existential type` items.

Add lint for intra link resolution failure
This PR is almost done, just remains this note:
```
note: requested on the command line with `-W intra-link-resolution-failure`
```
I have no idea why my lint is considered as being passed through command line and wasn't able to find where it was set. If anyone has an idea, it'd be very helpful!

Use spans pointing at the inside of a rustdoc attribute
Follow up to #51111.
Point to the link in a rustdoc attribute where intralink resolution failed, instead of the full rustdoc attribute's span.
