Make edition dependent `:expr` macro fragment act like the edition-dependent `:pat` fragment does
Parse the `:expr` fragment as `:expr_2021` in editions <=2021, and as `:expr` in edition 2024. This is similar to how we parse `:pat` as `:pat_param` in edition <=2018 and `:pat_with_or` in >=2021, and means we can get rid of a span dependency from `nonterminal_may_begin_with`.
Specifically, this fixes a theoretical regression since the `expr_2021` macro fragment previously would allow `const {}` if the *caller* is edition 2024. This is inconsistent with the way that the `pat` macro fragment was upgraded, and also leads to surprising behavior when a macro *caller* crate upgrades to edtion 2024, since they may have parsing changes that they never asked for (with no way of opting out of it).
This PR also allows using `expr_2021` in all editions. Why was this was disallowed in the first place? It's purely additive, and also it's still feature gated?

The rustc_ast crate contains those things concerned purely with syntax
– that is, the AST ("abstract syntax tree"), along with some definitions for tokens and token streams, data structures/traits for mutating ASTs, and shared definitions for other AST-related parts of the compiler (like the lexer and macro-expansion).
For more information about how these things work in rustc, see the rustc dev guide:
