Remove useless borrows and derefs
They are nothing more than noise.

`token::Lit` contains a `kind` field that indicates what kind of literal
it is. `ast::MetaItemLit` currently wraps a `token::Lit` but also has
its own `kind` field. This means that `ast::MetaItemLit` encodes the
literal kind in two different ways.
This commit changes `ast::MetaItemLit` so it no longer wraps
`token::Lit`. It now contains the `symbol` and `suffix` fields from
`token::Lit`, but not the `kind` field, eliminating the redundancy.
This is required to distinguish between cooked and raw byte string
literals in an `ast::LitKind`, without referring to an adjacent
`token::Lit`. It's a prerequisite for the next commit.
Lower them into a single item with multiple resolutions instead.
This also allows to remove additional `NodId`s and `DefId`s related to those additional items.
`MacArgs` is an enum with three variants: `Empty`, `Delimited`, and `Eq`. It's
used in two ways:
- For representing attribute macro arguments (e.g. in `AttrItem`), where all
three variants are used.
- For representing function-like macros (e.g. in `MacCall` and `MacroDef`),
where only the `Delimited` variant is used.
In other words, `MacArgs` is used in two quite different places due to them
having partial overlap. I find this makes the code hard to read. It also leads
to various unreachable code paths, and allows invalid values (such as
accidentally using `MacArgs::Empty` in a `MacCall`).
This commit splits `MacArgs` in two:
- `DelimArgs` is a new struct just for the "delimited arguments" case. It is
now used in `MacCall` and `MacroDef`.
- `AttrArgs` is a renaming of the old `MacArgs` enum for the attribute macro
case. Its `Delimited` variant now contains a `DelimArgs`.
Various other related things are renamed as well.
These changes make the code clearer, avoids several unreachable paths, and
disallows the invalid values.
Instead of `ast::Lit`.
Literal lowering now happens at two different times. Expression literals
are lowered when HIR is crated. Attribute literals are lowered during
parsing.
This commit changes the language very slightly. Some programs that used
to not compile now will compile. This is because some invalid literals
that are removed by `cfg` or attribute macros will no longer trigger
errors. See this comment for more details:

PR #98758 introduced code to avoid redundant assertions in derived code
like this:
```
let _: ::core::clone::AssertParamIsClone<u32>;
let _: ::core::clone::AssertParamIsClone<u32>;
```
But the predicate `is_simple_path` introduced as part of this failed to
account for generic arguments. Therefore the deriving code erroneously
considers types like `Option<bool>` and `Option<f32>` to be the same.
This commit fixes `is_simple_path`.
Fixes#103157.
make `mk_attr_id` part of `ParseSess`
Updates #48685
The current `mk_attr_id` uses the `AtomicU32` type, which is not very efficient and adds a lot of lock contention in a parallel environment.
This PR refers to the task list in #48685, uses `mk_attr_id` as a method of the `AttrIdGenerator` struct, and adds a new field `attr_id_generator` to `ParseSess`.
`AttrIdGenerator` uses the `WorkerLocal`, which has two advantages: 1. `Cell` is more efficient than `AtomicU32`, and does not increase any lock contention. 2. We put the index of the work thread in the first few bits of the generated `AttrId`, so that the `AttrId` generated in different threads can be easily guaranteed to be unique.

Initial implementation of dyn*
This PR adds extremely basic and incomplete support for [dyn*](https://smallcultfollowing.com/babysteps//blog/2022/03/29/dyn-can-we-make-dyn-sized/). The goal is to get something in tree behind a flag to make collaboration easier, and also to make sure the implementation so far is not unreasonable. This PR does quite a few things:
* Introduce `dyn_star` feature flag
* Adds parsing for `dyn* Trait` types
* Defines `dyn* Trait` as a sized type
* Adds support for explicit casts, like `42usize as dyn* Debug`
* Including const evaluation of such casts
* Adds codegen for drop glue so things are cleaned up properly when a `dyn* Trait` object goes out of scope
* Adds codegen for method calls, at least for methods that take `&self`
Quite a bit is still missing, but this gives us a starting point. Note that this is never intended to become stable surface syntax for Rust, but rather `dyn*` is planned to be used as an implementation detail for async functions in dyn traits.
Joint work with `@nikomatsakis` and `@compiler-errors.`
r? `@bjorn3`
The primary purpose of this commit is to introduce the
dyn_star flag so we can begin experimenting with implementation.
In order to have something to do in the feature gate test, we also add
parser support for `dyn* Trait` objects. These are currently treated
just like `dyn Trait` objects, but this will change in the future.
Note that for now `dyn* Trait` is experimental syntax to enable
implementing some of the machinery needed for async fn in dyn traits
without fully supporting the feature.
`To` is better than `Create` for indicating that this is a non-consuming
conversion, rather than creating something out of nothing.
And the addition of `Attr` is because the current names makes them sound
like they relate to `TokenStream`, but really they relate to
`AttrTokenStream`.
`BindingAnnotation` refactor
* `ast::BindingMode` is deleted and replaced with `hir::BindingAnnotation` (which is moved to `ast`)
* `BindingAnnotation` is changed from an enum to a tuple struct e.g. `BindingAnnotation(ByRef::No, Mutability::Mut)`
* Associated constants added for convenience `BindingAnnotation::{NONE, REF, MUT, REF_MUT}`
One goal is to make it more clear that `BindingAnnotation` merely represents syntax `ref mut` and not the actual binding mode. This was especially confusing since we had `ast::BindingMode`->`hir::BindingAnnotation`->`thir::BindingMode`.
I wish there were more symmetry between `ByRef` and `Mutability` (variant) naming (maybe `Mutable::Yes`?), and I also don't love how long the name `BindingAnnotation` is, but this seems like the best compromise. Ideas welcome.
