Now that future-incompat-report support has landed in nightly Cargo, we can start to make progress towards removing the various proc-macro back-compat hacks that have accumulated in the compiler. This PR introduces a new lint `proc_macro_back_compat`, which results in a future-incompat-report entry being generated. All proc-macro back-compat warnings will be grouped under this lint. Note that this lint will never actually become a hard error - instead, we will remove the special cases for various macros, which will cause older versions of those crates to emit some other error. I've added code to fire this lint for the `time-macros-impl` case. This is the easiest case out of all of our current back-compat hacks - the crate was renamed to `time-macros`, so seeing a filename with `time-macros-impl` guarantees that an older version of the parent `time` crate is in use. When Cargo's future-incompat-report feature gets stabilized, affected users will start to see future-incompat warnings when they build their crates. |

The rustc_ast 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 dev guide:
