[`RFC 3086`] Attempt to try to resolve blocking concerns
Implements what is described at https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/83527#issuecomment-1744822345 to hopefully make some progress.
It is unknown if such approach is or isn't desired due to the lack of further feedback, as such, it is probably best to nominate this PR to the official entities.

This is an extension of the previous commit. It means the output of
something like this:
```
stringify!(let a: Vec<u32> = vec![];)
```
goes from this:
```
let a: Vec<u32> = vec![] ;
```
With this PR, it now produces this string:
```
let a: Vec<u32> = vec![];
```
Currently a `{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage` can be created from any type that
impls `Into<String>`. That includes `&str`, `String`, and `Cow<'static,
str>`, which are reasonable. It also includes `&String`, which is pretty
weird, and results in many places making unnecessary allocations for
patterns like this:
```
self.fatal(&format!(...))
```
This creates a string with `format!`, takes a reference, passes the
reference to `fatal`, which does an `into()`, which clones the
reference, doing a second allocation. Two allocations for a single
string, bleh.
This commit changes the `From` impls so that you can only create a
`{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage` from `&str`, `String`, or `Cow<'static,
str>`. This requires changing all the places that currently create one
from a `&String`. Most of these are of the `&format!(...)` form
described above; each one removes an unnecessary static `&`, plus an
allocation when executed. There are also a few places where the existing
use of `&String` was more reasonable; these now just use `clone()` at
the call site.
As well as making the code nicer and more efficient, this is a step
towards possibly using `Cow<'static, str>` in
`{D,Subd}iagnosticMessage::{Str,Eager}`. That would require changing
the `From<&'a str>` impls to `From<&'static str>`, which is doable, but
I'm not yet sure if it's worthwhile.
- Rename `ast::Lit::token` as `ast::Lit::token_lit`, because its type is
`token::Lit`, which is not a token. (This has been confusing me for a
long time.)
reasonable because we have an `ast::token::Lit` inside an `ast::Lit`.
- Rename `LitKind::{from,to}_lit_token` as
`LitKind::{from,to}_token_lit`, to match the above change and
`token::Lit`.
A `TokenStream` contains a `Lrc<Vec<(TokenTree, Spacing)>>`. But this is
not quite right. `Spacing` makes sense for `TokenTree::Token`, but does
not make sense for `TokenTree::Delimited`, because a
`TokenTree::Delimited` cannot be joined with another `TokenTree`.
This commit fixes this problem, by adding `Spacing` to `TokenTree::Token`,
changing `TokenStream` to contain a `Lrc<Vec<TokenTree>>`, and removing the
`TreeAndSpacing` typedef.
The commit removes these two impls:
- `impl From<TokenTree> for TokenStream`
- `impl From<TokenTree> for TreeAndSpacing`
These were useful, but also resulted in code with many `.into()` calls
that was hard to read, particularly for anyone not highly familiar with
the relevant types. This commit makes some other changes to compensate:
- `TokenTree::token()` becomes `TokenTree::token_{alone,joint}()`.
- `TokenStream::token_{alone,joint}()` are added.
- `TokenStream::delimited` is added.
This results in things like this:
```rust
TokenTree::token(token::Semi, stmt.span).into()
```
changing to this:
```rust
TokenStream::token_alone(token::Semi, stmt.span)
```
This makes the type of the result, and its spacing, clearer.
These changes also simplifies `Cursor` and `CursorRef`, because they no longer
need to distinguish between `next` and `next_with_spacing`.
This commit updates the signatures of all diagnostic functions to accept
types that can be converted into a `DiagnosticMessage`. This enables
existing diagnostic calls to continue to work as before and Fluent
identifiers to be provided. The `SessionDiagnostic` derive just
generates normal diagnostic calls, so these APIs had to be modified to
accept Fluent identifiers.
In addition, loading of the "fallback" Fluent bundle, which contains the
built-in English messages, has been implemented.
Each diagnostic now has "arguments" which correspond to variables in the
Fluent messages (necessary to render a Fluent message) but no API for
adding arguments has been added yet. Therefore, diagnostics (that do not
require interpolation) can be converted to use Fluent identifiers and
will be output as before.
