Nicholas Nethercote 5ebcbfc1e1 Remove AstDeref.
It's a "utility trait to reduce boilerplate" implemented for `P` and
`AstNodeWrapper`, but removing it gives a net reduction of twenty lines
of code. It's also simpler to just implement
`HasNodeId`/`HasAttrs`/`HasTokens` directly on types instead of via
`AstDeref`.

(I decided to make this change when doing some related refactoring and
the error messages involving `AstDeref` and `HasAttrs` were hard to
understand; removing it helped a lot.)

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:
