macro_rules! is like an item that defines a macro. Other items don't have a
trailing semicolon, or use a paren-delimited body.
If there's an argument for matching the invocation syntax, e.g. parentheses for
an expr macro, then I think that applies more strongly to the *inner*
delimiters on the LHS, wrapping the individual argument patterns.
According to [RFC 344][], methods that return `&[u8]` should have names
ending in `bytes`. Though `include_bin!` is a macro not a method, it
seems reasonable to follow the convention anyway.
We keep the old name around for now, but trigger a deprecation warning
when it is used.

followed by a semicolon.
This allows code like `vec![1i, 2, 3].len();` to work.
This breaks code that uses macros as statements without putting
semicolons after them, such as:
fn main() {
...
assert!(a == b)
assert!(c == d)
println(...);
}
It also breaks code that uses macros as items without semicolons:
local_data_key!(foo)
fn main() {
println("hello world")
}
Add semicolons to fix this code. Those two examples can be fixed as
follows:
fn main() {
...
assert!(a == b);
assert!(c == d);
println(...);
}
local_data_key!(foo);
fn main() {
println("hello world")
}

Closes#18635.

Maintain explicit "paren" nodes in the AST so we can pretty-print
without having to guess where parens should go. We may revisit this
in the future.
