Speed up the macro parser
These three commits reduce the number of allocations done by the macro parser, in some cases dramatically. For example, for a clean check builds of html5ever, the number of allocations is reduced by 40%.
Here are the rustc-benchmarks that are sped up by at least 1%.
```
html5ever-check
avg: -6.6% min: -10.3% max: -4.1%
html5ever
avg: -5.2% min: -9.5% max: -2.8%
html5ever-opt
avg: -4.3% min: -9.3% max: -1.6%
crates.io-check
avg: -1.8% min: -2.9% max: -0.6%
crates.io-opt
avg: -1.0% min: -2.2% max: -0.1%
crates.io
avg: -1.1% min: -2.2% max: -0.2%
```
The syntax crate contains those things concerned purely with syntax
– that is, the AST ("abstract syntax tree"), parser, pretty-printer,
lexer, macro expander, and utilities for traversing ASTs.
For more information about how these things work in rustc, see the rustc guide:
