Rollup merge of #106383 - Manishearth:ast-docs, r=compiler-errors
Document some of the AST nodes

Someone was confused about some of this on Zulip, added some docs

We probably should make sure every last field/variant in the AST/HIR is documented at some point

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:
