bors 4edff843dd Auto merge of #61347 - Centril:stabilize-underscore_const_names, r=petrochenkov
Stabilize underscore_const_names in 1.37.0

You are now permitted to write:

```rust
const _: $type_expression = $term_expression;
```

That is, we change the [grammar of items](9d1984d7ae/grammar/item.lyg (L3-L42)), as written in [the *`.lyg`* notation](263bf161da (grammar)), from:

```java
Item = attrs:OuterAttr* vis:Vis? kind:ItemKind;
ItemKind =
  | ...
  | Const:{ "const" name:IDENT ":" ty:Type "=" value:Expr ";" }
  | ...
  ;
```

into:

```java
Item = attrs:OuterAttr* vis:Vis? kind:ItemKind;
ItemKind =
  | ...
  | Const:{ "const" name:IdentOrUnderscore ":" ty:Type "=" value:Expr ";" }
  | ...
  ;

IdentOrUnderscore =
  | Named:IDENT
  | NoName:"_"
  ;
```

The syntax crate contains those things concerned purely with syntax that is, the AST ("abstract syntax tree"), parser, pretty-printer, lexer, macro expander, and utilities for traversing ASTs.

For more information about how these things work in rustc, see the rustc guide:
