Fix parenthesization of chained comparisons by pretty-printer
Example:
```rust
macro_rules! repro {
() => {
1 < 2
};
}
fn main() {
let _ = repro!() == false;
}
```
Previously `-Zunpretty=expanded` would pretty-print this syntactically invalid output: `fn main() { let _ = 1 < 2 == false; }`
```console
error: comparison operators cannot be chained
--> <anon>:8:23
|
8 | fn main() { let _ = 1 < 2 == false; }
| ^ ^^
|
help: parenthesize the comparison
|
8 | fn main() { let _ = (1 < 2) == false; }
| + +
```
With the fix, it will print `fn main() { let _ = (1 < 2) == false; }`.
Making `-Zunpretty=expanded` consistently produce syntactically valid Rust output is important because that is what makes it possible for `cargo expand` to format and perform filtering on the expanded code.
## Review notes
According to `rg '\.fixity\(\)' compiler/` the `fixity` function is called only 3 places:
- 13170cd787/compiler/rustc_ast_pretty/src/pprust/state/expr.rs (L283-L287)
- 13170cd787/compiler/rustc_hir_pretty/src/lib.rs (L1295-L1299)
- 13170cd787/compiler/rustc_parse/src/parser/expr.rs (L282-L289)
The 2 pretty printers definitely want to treat comparisons using `Fixity::None`. That's the whole bug being fixed. Meanwhile, the parser's `Fixity::None` codepath is previously unreachable as indicated by the comment, so as long as `Fixity::None` here behaves exactly the way that `Fixity::Left` used to behave, you can tell that this PR definitely does not constitute any behavior change for the parser.
My guess for why comparison operators were set to `Fixity::Left` instead of `Fixity::None` is that it's a very old workaround for giving a good chained comparisons diagnostic (like what I pasted above). Nowadays that is handled by a different dedicated codepath.
