Make GATs less ICE-prone.
After this PR simple lifetime-generic associated types can now be used in a compiling program. There are two big limitations:
* #30472 has not been addressed in any way (see src/test/ui/generic-associated-types/iterable.rs)
* Using type- and const-generic associated types errors because bound types and constants aren't handled by trait solving.
* The errors are technically non-fatal, but they happen in a [part of the compiler](4abb0ad273/src/librustc_typeck/lib.rs (L298)) that fairly aggressively stops compiling on errors.

support issue = "none" in unstable attributes
This works towards fixing #41260.
This PR allows the use of `issue = "none"` in unstable attributes and makes changes to internally store the issue number as an `Option<NonZeroU32>`. For example:
```rust
#[unstable(feature = "unstable_test_feature", issue = "none")]
fn unstable_issue_none() {}
```
It was not made optional because feedback seen here #60860 suggested that people might forget the issue field if it was optional.
I could not remove the current uses of `issue = "0"` (of which there are a lot) because the stage 0 compiler expects the old syntax. Once this is available in the stage 0 compiler we can replace all uses of `"0"` with `"none"` and no longer allow `"0"`. This is my first time contributing, so I'm not sure what the protocol is with two-part things like this, so some guidance would be appreciated.

`AttrKind` is a new type with two variants, `Normal` and `DocComment`. It's a
big performance win (over 10% in some cases) because `DocComment` lets doc
comments (which are common) be represented very cheaply.
`Attribute` gets some new helper methods to ease the transition:
- `has_name()`: check if the attribute name matches a single `Symbol`; for
`DocComment` variants it succeeds if the symbol is `sym::doc`.
- `is_doc_comment()`: check if it has a `DocComment` kind.
- `{get,unwrap}_normal_item()`: extract the item from a `Normal` variant;
panic otherwise.
Fixes#60935.
Remove `InternedString`
This PR removes `InternedString` by converting all occurrences to `Symbol`. There are a handful of places that need to use the symbol chars instead of the symbol index, e.g. for stable sorting; local conversions `LocalInternedString` is used in those places.

rustc: arena-allocate the slice in `ty::GenericsPredicate`, not the whole struct.
While rebasing #59789 I noticed we can do this now. However, it doesn't help much without changing `inferred_outlives_of` to the same type, which I might try next.
Rename `subst::Kind` to `subst::GenericArg`
And `subst::UnpackedKind` to `subst::GenericArgKind`. Individual variable names (e.g. `kind`) are not renamed, which would be an infeasible mission.
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/64352.

reserve `impl<T> From<!> for T`
this is necessary for never-type stabilization.

I think we wanted a crater run for this @nikomatsakis?
