[breaking-change], needs crater run (cc @brson or @alexcrichton )
The pattern with parens `UnitVariant(..)` for unit variants seems to be popular in rustc (see the second commit), but mostly used by one person (@nikomatsakis), according to git blame. If it causes breakage on crates.io I'll add an exceptional case for it.
[breaking change]
I'm not sure if those renames are ok. [TokenType::Tt* to TokenType::*](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/29582) was obvious, but for all those Item-enums it's less obvious to me what the right way forward is due to the underscore.
Stricter checking of stability attributes + enforcement of their invariants at compile time
(+ removed dead file librustc_front/attr.rs)
I intended to enforce use of `reason` for unstable items as well (it normally presents for new items), but it turned out too intrusive, many older unstable items don't have `reason`s.

I'm studying how stability works and do some refactoring along the way, so it's probably not the last PR.
paths, and construct paths for all definitions. Also, stop rewriting
DefIds for closures, and instead just load the closure data from
the original def-id, which may be in another crate.
were returned, either the trait or the *self type itself*, were not
particularly representative of what the Def is (a type parameter).
Rewrite paths to handle this case specially, just as they handle the
primitive case specifically. This entire `def_id` codepath is kind of a
mess.
This ended up being a bigger refactoring than I thought, as I also cleaned a few ugly points in rustc. There are still a few areas that need improvements.
Performance numbers:

A good 5% perf improvement. Note that after this patch >70% of the time is spent in LLVM - Amdahl's law is in full effect.
Passes make check locally.
