Currently, we serialize the same crate metadata for proc-macro crates as
we do for normal crates. This is quite wasteful - almost none of this
metadata is ever used, and much of it can't even be deserialized (if it
contains a foreign `CrateNum`).
This PR changes metadata encoding to skip encoding the majority of crate
metadata for proc-macro crates. Most of the `Lazy<[T]>` fields are left
completetly empty, while the non-lazy fields are left as-is.
Additionally, proc-macros now have a def span that does not include
their body. This was done for normal functions in #75465, but was missed
for proc-macros.
As a result of this PR, we should only ever encode local `CrateNum`s
when encoding proc-macro crates. I've added a specialized serialization
impl for `CrateNum` to assert this.

There changes are currently still untested, so I don't expect this to pass CI 😆
It seems to me like this is the direction we want to go in, though we didn't have too much of a discussion about this.

Don't query stability data when `staged_api` is off
This data only needs to be encoded when `#![feature(staged_api)]` or `-Zforce-unstable-if-unmarked` is on. Running these queries takes measurable time on large crates with many items, so skip it when the unstable flags have not been enabled.
Previously, we would throw away the `SyntaxContext` of any span with a
dummy location during metadata encoding. This commit makes metadata Span
encoding consistent with incr-cache Span encoding - an 'invalid span'
tag is only used when it doesn't lose any information.
