Tracking the old name of renamed unstable library features
This PR resolves the first problem of rust-lang/rust#141617 : tracking renamed unstable features. The first commit is to add a ui test, and the second one tracks the changes. I will comment on the code for clarification.

Clean `rustc_attr_parsing/src/lib.rs` documentation
Improves the documentation clarity in `rustc_attr_parsing` by restructuring content with clearer section headers, simplifying explanations of attribute types, making technical descriptions more precise.
r? ``@oli-obk``
By using `@` patterns more.
Also, use `Symbol` more in a couple of errors to avoid some unnecessary
conversions to strings. This even removes a lifetime.
I'm removing empty identifiers everywhere, because in practice they
always mean "no identifier" rather than "empty identifier". (An empty
identifier is impossible.) It's better to use `Option` to mean "no
identifier" because you then can't forget about the "no identifier"
possibility.
Some specifics:
- When testing an attribute for a single name, the commit uses the
`has_name` method.
- When testing an attribute for multiple names, the commit uses the new
`has_any_name` method.
- When using `match` on an attribute, the match arms now have `Some` on
them.
In the tests, we now avoid printing empty identifiers by not printing
the identifier in the `error:` line at all, instead letting the carets
point out the problem.
The existing code produces `Some(kw::Empty)` for these invalid forms:
- a non-name-value, e.g. `#[rustc_allowed_through_unstable_modules]`
- a non-string arg, e.g. `#[rustc_allowed_through_unstable_modules = 3]`
The new code avoids the `kw::Empty` and is a little shorter. It will
produce `None` in those cases, which means E0789 won't be produced if
the `stable` attribute is missing for these invalid forms. This doesn't
matter, because these invalid forms will trigger an "malformed
`rustc_allowed_through_unstable_modules` attribute" anyway.
`rustc_span::symbol` defines some things that are re-exported from
`rustc_span`, such as `Symbol` and `sym`. But it doesn't re-export some
closely related things such as `Ident` and `kw`. So you can do `use
rustc_span::{Symbol, sym}` but you have to do `use
rustc_span::symbol::{Ident, kw}`, which is inconsistent for no good
reason.
This commit re-exports `Ident`, `kw`, and `MacroRulesNormalizedIdent`,
and changes many `rustc_span::symbol::` qualifiers in `compiler/` to
`rustc_span::`. This is a 200+ net line of code reduction, mostly
because many files with two `use rustc_span` items can be reduced to
one.
