Simplify `LazyAttrTokenStream` `LazyAttrTokenStream` is an unpleasant type: `Lrc<Box<dyn ToAttrTokenStream>>`. Why does it look like that? - There are two `ToAttrTokenStream` impls, one for the lazy case, and one for the case where we already have an `AttrTokenStream`. - The lazy case (`LazyAttrTokenStreamImpl`) is implemented in `rustc_parse`, but `LazyAttrTokenStream` is defined in `rustc_ast`, which does not depend on `rustc_parse`. The use of the trait lets `rustc_ast` implicitly depend on `rustc_parse`. This explains the `dyn`. - `LazyAttrTokenStream` must have a `size_of` as small as possible, because it's used in many AST nodes. This explains the `Lrc<Box<_>>`, which keeps it to one word. (It's required `Lrc<dyn _>` would be a fat pointer.) This PR moves `LazyAttrTokenStreamImpl` (and a few other token stream things) from `rustc_parse` to `rustc_ast`. This lets us replace the `ToAttrTokenStream` trait with a two-variant enum and also remove the `Box`, changing `LazyAttrTokenStream` to `Lrc<LazyAttrTokenStreamInner>`. Plus it does a few cleanups. r? `@petrochenkov` |

The rustc_ast crate contains those things concerned purely with syntax
– that is, the AST ("abstract syntax tree"), along with some definitions for tokens and token streams, data structures/traits for mutating ASTs, and shared definitions for other AST-related parts of the compiler (like the lexer and macro-expansion).
For more information about how these things work in rustc, see the rustc dev guide:
