Allow more non-inline modules in blocks
Currently, non-inline modules without a `#[path]` attribute are not allowed in blocks.
This PR allows non-inline modules that have an ancestor module with a `#[path]` attribute, provided there is not a nearer ancestor block.
For example,
```rust
fn main() {
#[path = "..."] mod foo {
mod bar; //< allowed by this PR
fn f() {
mod bar; //< still an error
}
}
}
```
Fixes#36772.

This applies the HIR changes from the previous commits to the AST, and
is thus a syntax-[breaking-change]
Renames `PatKind::Vec` to `PatKind::Slice`, since these are called slice
patterns, not vec patterns. Renames `TyKind::Vec`, which represents the
type `[T]`, to `TyKind::Slice`. Renames `TyKind::FixedLengthVec` to
`TyKind::Array`.
I am using `ThinAttributes` rather than a vector for attributes
attached to generics, since I expect almost all lifetime and types
parameters to not carry any attributes.
Optimize the parser's last token handling.
The parser currently makes a heap copy of the last token in four cases:
identifiers, paths, doc comments, and commas. The identifier and
interpolation cases are unused, and for doc comments and commas we only
need to record their presence, not their value.
This commit consolidates the last token handling and avoids the
unnecessary copies by replacing `last_token`, `last_token_eof`, and
`last_token_interpolated` with a new field `last_token_kind`. This
simplifies the parser slightly and speeds up parsing on some files by
3--4%.
Avoid loading and parsing unconfigured non-inline modules.
For example, `#[cfg(any())] mod foo;` will always compile after this PR, even if `foo.rs` and `foo/mod.rs` do not exist or do not contain valid Rust.
Fixes#36478 and fixes#27873.

Refactor `PathListItem`s
This refactors away variant `Mod` of `ast::PathListItemKind` and refactors the remaining variant `Ident` to a struct `ast::PathListItem_`.
We want to catch this error:
```
if (foo)
bar;
```
as it's valid syntax in other languages, and say how to fix it.
Unfortunately it didn't care if the suggestion made sense and just
highlighted the unexpected token.
Now it attempts to parse a statement, and if it succeeds, it shows the
help message.
Fixes#35907
Specific error message for missplaced doc comments
Identify when documetation comments have been missplaced in the following places:
* After a struct element:
```rust
// file.rs:
struct X {
a: u8 /** document a */,
}
```
```bash
$ rustc file.rs
file.rs:2:11: 2:28 error: found documentation comment that doesn't
document anything
file.rs:2 a: u8 /** document a */,
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
file.rs:2:11: 2:28 help: doc comments must come before what they document,
maybe a comment was intended with `//`?
```
* As the last line of a struct:
```rust
// file.rs:
struct X {
a: u8,
/// incorrect documentation
}
```
```bash
$ rustc file.rs
file.rs:3:5: 3:27 error: found a documentation comment that doesn't
document anything
file.rs:3 /// incorrect documentation
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
file.rs:3:5: 3:27 help: doc comments must come before what they document,
maybe a comment was intended with `//`?
```
* As the last line of a `fn`:
```rust
// file.rs:
fn main() {
let x = 1;
/// incorrect documentation
}
```
```bash
$ rustc file.rs
file.rs:3:5: 3:27 error: found a documentation comment that doesn't
document anything
file.rs:3 /// incorrect documentation
^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
file.rs:3:5: 3:27 help: doc comments must come before what they document,
maybe a comment was intended with `//`?
```
Fix#27429, #30322
Implement the `!` type
This implements the never type (`!`) and hides it behind the feature gate `#[feature(never_type)]`. With the feature gate off, things should build as normal (although some error messages may be different). With the gate on, `!` is usable as a type and diverging type variables (ie. types that are unconstrained by anything in the code) will default to `!` instead of `()`.
