`rustc_span::symbol` defines some things that are re-exported from
`rustc_span`, such as `Symbol` and `sym`. But it doesn't re-export some
closely related things such as `Ident` and `kw`. So you can do `use
rustc_span::{Symbol, sym}` but you have to do `use
rustc_span::symbol::{Ident, kw}`, which is inconsistent for no good
reason.
This commit re-exports `Ident`, `kw`, and `MacroRulesNormalizedIdent`,
and changes many `rustc_span::symbol::` qualifiers in `compiler/` to
`rustc_span::`. This is a 200+ net line of code reduction, mostly
because many files with two `use rustc_span` items can be reduced to
one.
Instead of repeating the same logic by walking HIR during metadata encoding.
The only difference is that we are no longer encoding `macro_rules` items, but we never currently need them as a part of this list.
They can be encoded separately if this need ever arises.
`module_reexports` is also un-querified, because I don't see any reasons to make it a query, only overhead.
This may be potentially useful for
- avoiding uses of `hir::ItemKind::Use`
- preserving documentation comments on all reexports
- preserving and checking stability/deprecation info on reexports
- all kinds of diagnostics
