Stop using intermediate macros in definition of symbols

Currently, the rustc_macros::symbols macro generates two
`macro_rules!` macros as its output. These two macros are
used in rustc_span/src/symbol.rs.

This means that each Symbol that we define is represented
in the AST of rustc_symbols twice: once in the definition
of the `define_symbols!` macro (similarly for the
`keywords! macro), and once in the rustc_span::symbols
definition.

That would be OK if there were only a handful of symbols,
but currently we define over 1100 symbols. The definition
of the `define_symbols!` macro contains the expanded definition
of each symbol, so that's a lot of AST storage wasted on a
macro that is used exactly once.

This commit removes the `define_symbols` macro, and simply
allows the proc macro to directly generate the
`rustc_symbols::symbol::sym` module.

The benefit is mainly in reducing memory wasted during
compilation of rustc itself. It should also reduce memory used
by Rust Analyzer.

This commit also reduces the size of the AST for symbol
definitions, by moving two `#[allow(...)]` attributes from
the symbol constants to the `sym` module. This eliminates 2200+
attribute nodes.

This commit also eliminates the need for the `digits_array`
constant. There's no need to store an array of Symbol values
for digits. We can simply define a constant of the base value,
and add to that base value.

I left the `sym::integer` function in rustc_span/src/symbol.rs
instead of moving it into rustc_macros/src/symbols.rs for two
reasons. First, because it's human-written code; it doesn't need
to be generated by the proc-macro. Second, because I didn't want
the `#[allow(...)]` attributes that I moved to the `sym` module
scope to apply to this function. The `sym` module re-exports the
`integer` function from its parent module.
