Nicholas Nethercote 7d145a0fde Merge print_* functions.
The handling of the `PpMode` variants is currently spread across three
functions: `print_after_parsing`, `print_after_hir_lowering`, and
`print_with_analysis`. Each one handles some of the variants. This split
is primarily because `print_after_parsing` has slightly different
arguments to the other two.

This commit changes the structure. It merges the three functions into a
single `print` function, and encapsulates the different arguments in a
new enum `PrintExtra`.

Benefits:
- The code is a little shorter.
- All the `PpMode` variants are handled in a single `match`, with no
  need for `unreachable!` arms.
- It enables the trait removal in the subsequent commit by reducing
  the number of `call_with_pp_support_ast` call sites from two to one.

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.
