In some places we use `Vec<Attribute>` and some places we use
`ThinVec<Attribute>` (a.k.a. `AttrVec`). This results in various points
where we have to convert between `Vec` and `ThinVec`.
This commit changes the places that use `Vec<Attribute>` to use
`AttrVec`. A lot of this is mechanical and boring, but there are
some interesting parts:
- It adds a few new methods to `ThinVec`.
- It implements `MapInPlace` for `ThinVec`, and introduces a macro to
avoid the repetition of this trait for `Vec`, `SmallVec`, and
`ThinVec`.
Overall, it makes the code a little nicer, and has little effect on
performance. But it is a precursor to removing
`rustc_data_structures::thin_vec::ThinVec` and replacing it with
`thin_vec::ThinVec`, which is implemented more efficiently.
SmallVector is long gone, as it's been first replaced
by OneVector in commit e5e6375352,
which then has been removed entirely in favour of SmallVec in
commit 130a32fa72.
These should make using `ThinVec` feel much more like using `Vec`.
They will allow users of `Vec` to switch to `ThinVec` while continuing
to use `collect()`, `for` loops, and other parts of the iterator API.
I don't know if there were use cases before for using the iterator API
with `ThinVec`, but I would like to start using `ThinVec` in rustdoc,
and having it conform to the iterator API would make the transition
*a lot* easier.
I added a `FromIterator` impl, an `IntoIterator` impl that yields owned
elements, and `IntoIterator` impls that yield immutable or mutable
references to elements. I also added some unit tests for `ThinVec`.
