When parsing `let x: i8 += 1` the compiler interprets `i8` as a trait
which makes it more complicated to do error recovery. More advanced
error recovery is not implemented in this commit.
We have been seeing some very inefficient code that went away when using
`-Cforce-frame-pointers=no`. For instance `core::ptr::drop_in_place` at
`-Oz` was compiled into a function which consisted entirely of saving
registers to the stack, then using the frame pointer to restore the same
registers (without any instructions between the prolog and epilog).

The RISC-V LLVM backend supports frame pointer elimination, so it makes
sense to allow this to happen when using Rust. It's not clear to me that
frame pointers have ever been required in the general case.

In rust-lang#61675 it was pointed out that this made reassembling
stack traces easier, which is true, but there is a code generation
option for forcing frame pointers, and I feel the default should not be
to require frame pointers, given it demonstrably makes code size worse
(around 10% in some embedded applications).

The kinds of targets mentioned in rust-lang#61675 are popular, but
should not dictate that code generation should be worse for all RISC-V
targets, especially as there is a way to use CFI information to
reconstruct the stack when the frame pointer is eliminated. It is also
a misconception that `fp` is always used for the frame pointer. `fp` is
an ABI name for `x8` (aka `s0`), and if no frame pointer is required,
`x8` may be used for other callee-saved values.

This commit does ensure that the standard library is built with unwind
tables, so that users do not need to rebuild the standard library in
order to get a backtrace that includes standard library calls (which is
the original reason for forcing frame pointers).

[RISC-V] Do not force frame pointers

I am partly posting this to get feedback from @fintelia who introduced the change to require frame pointers, and @hanna-kruppe who had issues with the original PR. I would understand if we wanted to remove this setting on only a subset of RISC-V targets, but my preference would be to remove this setting everywhere.

Improve diagnostics for `let x += 1`

Fixes(?) rust-lang#66736

The code responsible for the `E0404` errors is [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/librustc_parse/parser/ty.rs#L399-L424) which I don't think can be easily modified to prevent emitting an error in one specific case. Because of this I couldn't get rid of `E0404` and instead added `E0067` along with a help message which will fix the problem.

add raw_ref macros

In rust-lang#64490, various people were in favor of exposing `&raw` as a macro first before making the actual syntax stable. So this PR (unstably) introduces those macros.

I'll create the tracking issue if we're okay moving forward with this.
