The `syntex` crate is unmaintained. It is slow to build, and additionally it
requires that we pre-process `src/codegen/mod.rs` before we build the `bindgen`
crate.
The `quote` crate provides similar quasi-quoting functionality, is maintained,
and builds faster. It doesn't have a typed API or builders, however; it only
deals with tokens.
Before this commit:
```
$ cargo clean; cargo build
<snip>
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 98.75 secs
```
After this commit:
```
$ cargo clean; cargo build
<snip>
Finished dev [unoptimized + debuginfo] target(s) in 46.26 secs
```
Build time is cut in half! But what about run time?
Before this commit:
```
Generated Stylo bindings in: Duration { secs: 3, nanos: 521105668 }
```
After this commit:
```
Generated Stylo bindings in: Duration { secs: 3, nanos: 548797242 }
```
So it appears to be about 20ms slower at generating Stylo bindings, but I
suspect this is well within the noise.
Finally, this also lets us remove that nasty `mem::transmute` inside
`bindgen::ir::BindgenContext::gen` that was used for the old `syntex`
context. Now `BindgenContext` doesn't have a lifetime parameter either. This
should make it easier to revisit doing our analyses in parallel with `rayon`,
since that context was one of the things that made it hard for `BindgenContext`
to implement `Sync`.
Fixes #925
