Avoid a few locks
We can use atomics or datastructures tuned for specific access patterns instead of locks. This may be an improvement for parallel rustc, but it's mostly a cleanup making various datastructures only usable in the way they are used right now (append data, never mutate), instead of having a general purpose lock.
Remove the `NodeId` of `ast::ExprKind::Async`
This is a followup to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/104833#pullrequestreview-1314537416.
In my original attempt, I was using `LoweringContext::expr`, which was not correct as it creates a fresh `DefId`.
It now uses the correct `DefId` for the wrapping `Expr`, and also makes forwarding `#[track_caller]` attributes more explicit.
Remove `box_syntax`
r? `@Nilstrieb`
This removes the feature `box_syntax`, which allows the use of `box <expr>` to create a Box, and finalises removing use of the feature from the compiler. `box_patterns` (allowing the use of `box <pat>` in a pattern) is unaffected.
It also removes `ast::ExprKind::Box` - the only way to create a 'box' expression now is with the rustc-internal `#[rustc_box]` attribute.
As a temporary measure to help users move away, `box <expr>` now parses the inner expression, and emits a `MachineApplicable` lint to replace it with `Box::new`
Closes#49733
Gate usages of `dyn*` and const closures in macros
We silently accepted `dyn*` and const closures in macros as long as they didn't expand to anything containing these experimental features, unlike other gated features such as `for<'a>` binders on closures, etc. Let's not do that, to make sure nobody begins relying on this.
This makes it easier to open the messages file while developing on features.
The commit was the result of automatted changes:

feat/refactor: improve errors in case of ident with number at start
Improve parser code when we parse a integer (or float) literal but expect an identifier. We emit an error message saying that identifiers can't begin with numbers. This PR just improves that code and expands it to all identifiers. Note that I haven't implemented error recovery (this didn't exist before anyway), I might do that in a follow up PR.
Replace parse_[sth]_expr with parse_expr_[sth] function names
This resolves an inconsistency in naming style for functions on the parser, where:
* functions parsing specific kinds of items are named `parse_item_[sth]` and
* functions parsing specific kinds of *expressions* are named `parse_[sth]_expr`
favoring the style used by functions for items. There are multiple advantages of that style:
* functions of both categories are collected in the same place in the [rustdoc output](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/nightly-rustc/rustc_parse/parser/struct.Parser.html).
* it helps with autocompletion, as you can narrow down your search for a function to those about expressions.
* it mirrors rust's path syntax where less specific things come first, then it gets more specific, i.e. `std::collections::hash_map::Entry`.
The disadvantage is that it doesn't "read like a sentence" any more. But I think the advantages weigh more greatly.
This change was mostly application of this command:
```
sed -i -E 's/(fn |\.)parse_([[:alnum:]_]+)_expr/\1parse_expr_\2/' compiler/rustc_parse/src/parser/*.rs
```
Plus very minor fixes outside of `rustc_parse`, and an invocation of `x fmt`.
