bors a4cb3c8318 Auto merge of #134381 - jdonszelmann:move-attribute-types, r=oli-obk
Split up attribute parsing code and move data types to `rustc_attr_data_structures`

This change renames `rustc_attr` to `rustc_attr_parsing`, and splits up the parsing code. At the same time, all the data types used move to `rustc_attr_data_structures`. This is in preparation of also having a third crate: `rustc_attr_validation`

I initially envisioned this as two separate PRs, but I think doing it in one go reduces the number of ways others would have to rebase their changes on this. However, I can still split them.

r? `@oli-obk` (we already discussed how this is a first step in a larger plan)

For a more detailed plan on how attributes are going to change, see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/131229

Edit: this looks like a giant PR, but the changes are actually rather trivial. Each commit is reviewable on its own, and mostly moves code around. No new logic is added.

The driver crate is effectively the "main" function for the rust compiler. It orchestrates the compilation process and "knits together" the code from the other crates within rustc. This crate itself does not contain any of the "main logic" of the compiler (though it does have some code related to pretty printing or other minor compiler options).

For more information about how the driver works, see the rustc dev guide.
