Nicholas Nethercote b5d7da878f Decouple DummyAstNode and DummyResult.
They are two different ways of creating dummy results, with two
different purposes. Their implementations are separate except for
crates, where `DummyResult` depends on `DummyAstNode`.

This commit removes that dependency, so they are now fully separate. It
also expands the comment on `DummyAstNode`.

The rustc_ast crate contains those things concerned purely with syntax that is, the AST ("abstract syntax tree"), along with some definitions for tokens and token streams, data structures/traits for mutating ASTs, and shared definitions for other AST-related parts of the compiler (like the lexer and macro-expansion).

For more information about how these things work in rustc, see the rustc dev guide:
