Rollup merge of #123462 - fmease:rn-mod-sep-to-path-sep, r=nnethercote 
Cleanup: Rename `ModSep` to `PathSep`

`::` is usually referred to as the *path separator* (citation needed).

The existing name `ModSep` for *module separator* is a bit misleading since it in fact separates the segments of arbitrary path segments, not only ones resolving to modules. Let me just give a shout-out to associated items (`T::Assoc`, `<Ty as Trait>::function`) and enum variants (`Option::None`).

Motivation: Reduce friction for new contributors, prevent potential confusion.

README.md

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:
