There are a few common abbreviations like `use rustc_ast as ast` and
`use rust_hir as hir` for names that are used a lot. But there are also
some cases where a crate is renamed just once in the whole codebase, and
that ends up making things harder to read rather than easier. This
commit removes them.
`rustc_expand` cleanups
Some cleanups I made while looking through this code. Nothing that requires any real domain-specific knowledge about this crate.

library/std: Remove unused `gimli-symbolize` feature
library/backtrace also declares a feature called `gimli-symbolize` which appear used, but the feature in std with the same name is unused, so remove it.
String.truncate comment microfix (greater or equal)
String.truncate calls Vec.truncate, in turn, and that states "is greater or equal to". Beside common sense.
deref patterns: impl `DerefPure` for more std types
Context: [deref patterns](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/87121). The requirements of `DerefPure` aren't precise yet, but these types unambiguously satisfy them.
Interestingly, a hypothetical `impl DerefMut for Cow` that does a `Clone` would *not* be eligible for `DerefPure` if we allow mixing deref patterns with normal patterns. If the following is exhaustive then the `DerefMut` would cause UB:
```rust
match &mut Cow::Borrowed(&()) {
Cow::Owned(_) => ..., // Doesn't match
deref!(_x) if false => ..., // Causes the variant to switch to `Owned`
Cow::Borrowed(_) => ..., // Doesn't match
// We reach unreachable
}
```
It is currently an enum and the `tts` and `idx` fields are repeated
across the two variants.
This commit splits it into a struct `Frame` and an enum `FrameKind`, to
factor out the duplication. The commit also renames `Frame::new` as
`Frame::new_delimited` and adds `Frame::new_sequence`. I.e. both
variants now have a constructor.
Control flow never gets past the end of the `ExpandResult::Retry` match
arm, due to the `span_bug` and the `continue`. Therefore, the code after
the match can only be reached from the `ExpandResult::Ready` arm.
This commit moves that code after the match into the
`ExpandResult::Ready` arm, avoiding the need for the `continue` in the
`ExpandResult::Retry` arm.
`ConstKind::Value` is the only variant where control flow leaves the
first match on `impl_ct.kind()`, so there is no need for a second match
on the same expression later on.
In the stabilization attempt of `#[unix_sigpipe = "sig_dfl"]`, a concern
was raised related to using a language attribute for the feature: Long
term, we want `fn lang_start()` to be definable by any crate, not just
libstd. Having a special language attribute in that case becomes
awkward.
So as a first step towards towards the next stabilization attempt, this
PR changes the `#[unix_sigpipe = "..."]` attribute to a compiler flag
`-Zon-broken-pipe=...` to remove that concern, since now the language
is not "contaminated" by this feature.
Another point was also raised, namely that the ui should not leak
**how** it does things, but rather what the **end effect** is. The new
flag uses the proposed naming. This is of course something that can be
iterated on further before stabilization.
