Deprecate crate_type and crate_name nested inside #![cfg_attr]

This implements the proposal in rust-lang#83676 (comment), with a future compatibility lint imposed on usage of crate_type/crate_name inside cfg's.

This is a compromise between removing `#![crate_type]` and `#![crate_name]` completely and keeping them as a whole, which requires somewhat of a hack in rustc and is impossible to support by gcc-rust. By only removing `#![crate_type]` and `#![crate_name]` nested inside `#![cfg_attr]` it becomes possible to parse them before a big chunk of the compiler has started.

Replaces rust-lang#83676

```rust
#![crate_type = "lib"] // remains working
#![cfg_attr(foo, crate_type = "bin")] // will stop working
```

# Rationale

As it currently is it is possible to try to access the stable crate id before it is actually set, which will panic. The fact that the Session contains mutable state beyond debugging things also doesn't completely sit well with me. Especially once parallel rustc becomes the default.

I think there is currently also a cyclic dependency where you need to set the stable crate id to be able to load crates, but you need to load crates to expand proc macro attributes that may define #![crate_name] or #![crate_type]. Currently crate level proc macro attributes are unstable or completely unsupported (can't remember which), so this is not a problem, but it may become an issue in the future.

Finally if we want to add incremental compilation to macro expansion or even parsing, we need the StableCrateId to be created together with the Session or even earlier as incremental compilation determines the incremental compilation session dir based on the StableCrateId.

Upstream changes:

Version 1.59.0 (2022-02-24)
==========================

Language
--------

- [Stabilize default arguments for const generics][90207]
- [Stabilize destructuring assignment][90521]
- [Relax private in public lint on generic bounds and where clauses
  of trait impls][90586]
- [Stabilize asm! and global_asm! for x86, x86_64, ARM, Aarch64,
  and RISC-V][91728]

Compiler
--------

- [Stabilize new symbol mangling format, leaving it opt-in
  (-Csymbol-mangling-version=v0)][90128]
- [Emit LLVM optimization remarks when enabled with `-Cremark`][90833]
- [Fix sparc64 ABI for aggregates with floating point members][91003]
- [Warn when a `#[test]`-like built-in attribute macro is present
  multiple times.][91172]
- [Add support for riscv64gc-unknown-freebsd][91284]
- [Stabilize `-Z emit-future-incompat` as `--json future-incompat`][91535]
- [Soft disable incremental compilation][94124]

This release disables incremental compilation, unless the user has explicitly
opted in via the newly added RUSTC_FORCE_INCREMENTAL=1 environment variable.
This is due to a known and relatively frequently occurring bug in incremental
compilation, which causes builds to issue internal compiler errors. This
particular bug is already fixed on nightly, but that fix has not yet rolled out
to stable and is deemed too risky for a direct stable backport.

As always, we encourage users to test with nightly and report bugs so that we
can track failures and fix issues earlier.

See [94124] for more details.

Compatibility Notes
-------------------

- [Refactor weak symbols in std::sys::unix][90846]
  This may add new, versioned, symbols when building with a newer glibc, as the
  standard library uses weak linkage rather than dynamically attempting to load
  certain symbols at runtime.
- [Deprecate crate_type and crate_name nested inside `#![cfg_attr]`][83744]
  This adds a future compatibility lint to supporting the use of cfg_attr
  wrapping either crate_type or crate_name specification within Rust files;
  it is recommended that users migrate to setting the equivalent command line
  flags.
- [Remove effect of `#[no_link]` attribute on name resolution][92034]
  This may expose new names, leading to conflicts with preexisting names in a
  given namespace and a compilation failure.
- [Cargo will document libraries before binaries.][cargo/10172]
- [Respect doc=false in dependencies, not just the root crate][cargo/10201]
- [Weaken guarantee around advancing underlying iterators in zip][83791]
- [Make split_inclusive() on an empty slice yield an empty output][89825]
- [Update std::env::temp_dir to use GetTempPath2 on Windows when
  available.][89999]
- [unreachable! was updated to match other formatting macro behavior
  on Rust 2021][92137]

Internal Changes
----------------

These changes provide no direct user facing benefits, but represent significant
improvements to the internals and overall performance of rustc
and related tools.

- [Fix many cases of normalization-related ICEs][91255]
- [Replace dominators algorithm with simple Lengauer-Tarjan][85013]
- [Store liveness in interval sets for region inference][90637]

- [Remove `in_band_lifetimes` from the compiler and standard library,
  in preparation for removing this unstable feature.][91867]

Make forward compatibility lint deprecated_cfg_attr_crate_type_name deny by default

Turns the forward compatibility lint added by rust-lang#83744 to deprecate `cfg_attr` usage with `#![crate_type]` and `#![crate_name]` attributes into deny by default. Copying the example from rust-lang#83744:

```Rust
#![crate_type = "lib"] // remains working
#![cfg_attr(foo, crate_type = "bin")] // will stop working
```

Over 8 months have passed since rust-lang#83744 was merged so I'd say this gives ample time for people to have been warned, so we can make the warning stronger. No usage was found via grep.app except for one, which was in an unmaintained code base that didn't seem to be used in the open source eco system. The crater run conducted in rust-lang#83744 also didn't show up anything.

Make forward compatibility lint deprecated_cfg_attr_crate_type_name deny by default

Turns the forward compatibility lint added by rust-lang#83744 to deprecate `cfg_attr` usage with `#![crate_type]` and `#![crate_name]` attributes into deny by default. Copying the example from rust-lang#83744:

```Rust
#![crate_type = "lib"] // remains working
#![cfg_attr(foo, crate_type = "bin")] // will stop working
```

Make deprecated_cfg_attr_crate_type_name a hard error

Turns the forward compatibility lint added by rust-lang#83744 into a hard error, so now, while the `#![crate_name]` and `#![crate_type]` attributes are still allowed in raw form, they are now forbidden to be nested inside a `#![cfg_attr()]` attribute.

The following will now be an error:

```Rust
#![cfg_attr(foo, crate_name = "foobar")]
#![cfg_attr(foo, crate_type = "bin")]
```

This code will continue working and is not deprecated:

```Rust
#![crate_name = "foobar"]
#![crate_type = "lib"]
```

The reasoning for this is explained in rust-lang#83744: it allows us to not have to cfg-expand in order to determine the crate's type and name.

As of filing the PR, exactly two years have passed since rust-lang#99784 has been merged, which has turned the lint's default warning level into an error, so there has been ample time to move off the now-forbidden syntax.
