`Decoder` has two impls:
- opaque: this impl is already partly infallible, i.e. in some places it
currently panics on failure (e.g. if the input is too short, or on a
bad `Result` discriminant), and in some places it returns an error
(e.g. on a bad `Option` discriminant). The number of places where
either happens is surprisingly small, just because the binary
representation has very little redundancy and a lot of input reading
can occur even on malformed data.
- json: this impl is fully fallible, but it's only used (a) for the
`.rlink` file production, and there's a `FIXME` comment suggesting it
should change to a binary format, and (b) in a few tests in
non-fundamental ways. Indeed #85993 is open to remove it entirely.
And the top-level places in the compiler that call into decoding just
abort on error anyway. So the fallibility is providing little value, and
getting rid of it leads to some non-trivial performance improvements.
Much of this commit is pretty boring and mechanical. Some notes about
a few interesting parts:
- The commit removes `Decoder::{Error,error}`.
- `InternIteratorElement::intern_with`: the impl for `T` now has the same
optimization for small counts that the impl for `Result<T, E>` has,
because it's now much hotter.
- Decodable impls for SmallVec, LinkedList, VecDeque now all use
`collect`, which is nice; the one for `Vec` uses unsafe code, because
that gave better perf on some benchmarks.
Fix star handling in block doc comments
Fixes#92872.
Some extra explanation about this PR and why https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/92357 created this regression: when we merge doc comment kinds for example in:
```rust
/// he
/**
* hello
*/
#[doc = "boom"]
```
We don't want to remove the empty lines between them. However, to correctly compute the "horizontal trim", we still need it, so instead, I put back a part of the "vertical trim" directly in the "horizontal trim" computation so it doesn't impact the output buffer but allows us to correctly handle the stars.

Add Attribute::meta_kind
The `AttrItem::meta` function is being called on a lot of places, however almost always the caller is only interested in the `kind` of the result `MetaItem`. Before, the `path` had to be cloned in order to get the kind, now it does not have to be.
There is a larger related "problem". In a lot of places, something wants to know contents of attributes. This is accessed through `Attribute::meta_item_list`, which calls `AttrItem::meta` (now `AttrItem::meta_kind`), among other methods. When this function is called, the meta item list has to be recreated from scratch. Everytime something asks a simple question (like is this item/list of attributes `#[doc(hidden)]`?), the tokens of the attribute(s) are cloned, parsed and the results are allocated on the heap. That seems really unnecessary. What would be the best way to cache this? Turn `meta_item_list` into a query perhaps? Related PR: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/92227

ast: Avoid aborts on fatal errors thrown from mutable AST visitor
Set the node to some dummy value and rethrow the error instead.
When using the old aborting `visit_clobber` in `InvocationCollector::visit_crate` the next tests abort due to fatal errors:
```
ui\modules\path-invalid-form.rs
ui\modules\path-macro.rs
ui\modules\path-no-file-name.rs
ui\parser\issues\issue-5806.rs
ui\parser\mod_file_with_path_attr.rs

Remove `SymbolStr`
This was originally proposed in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/74554#discussion_r466203544. As well as removing the icky `SymbolStr` type, it allows the removal of a lot of `&` and `*` occurrences.

Stabilise `feature(const_generics_defaults)`
`feature(const_generics_defaults)` is complete implementation wise and has a pretty extensive test suite so I think is ready for stabilisation.
needs stabilisation report and maybe an RFC 😅

Fix bug with `#[doc]` string single-character last lines
Fixes#90618.
This is because `.iter().all(|c| c == '*')` returns `true` if there is no character checked. And in case the last line has only one character, it simply returns `true`, making the last line behind removed.
TraitKind -> Trait
TyAliasKind -> TyAlias
ImplKind -> Impl
FnKind -> Fn
All `*Kind`s in AST are supposed to be enums.
Tuple structs are converted to braced structs for the types above, and fields are reordered in syntactic order.
Also, mutable AST visitor now correctly visit spans in defaultness, unsafety, impl polarity and constness.
Optimize bidi character detection.
Should fix most of the performance regression of the bidi character detection (#90514), to be confirmed with a perf run.
rustc_ast: Turn `MutVisitor::token_visiting_enabled` into a constant
It's a visitor property rather than something that needs to be determined at runtime
rustc_span: `Ident::invalid` -> `Ident::empty`
The equivalent for `Symbol`s was renamed some time ago (`kw::Invalid` -> `kw::Empty`), and it makes sense to do the same thing for `Ident`s as well.
