This PR does the following:

  • Add a debug assertion to rustc_attr_parsing, to ensure we never forget to check the arguments of a meta item again
  • Removes the unused #[derive(Clone)] from ArgParser as that would break this debug assertion
  • [BREAKING] Properly check that #[inline(always(...))] gets no arguments
  • [BREAKING] Properly check that #[instruction_set(arm::a32(...))] gets no arguments
  • [BREAKING] Properly check that #[macro_export(local_inner_macros(...))] gets no arguments.
    Fixes Invalid value accepted for #[macro_export(local_inner_macros)] #154977
  • [BREAKING] Properly check that #[used(compiler(...))] gets no arguments.
  • Properly check that #[optimize(size(...))] gets no arguments.
  • Properly check that #[coverage(on(...))] gets no arguments.
  • Properly check that #[rustc_dump_layout(debug(...))] gets no arguments.
  • Properly check that #[rustc_abi(debug(...))] gets no arguments.
  • Properly check that #![test_runner(arg(...))] gets no arguments.
  • Properly check that #[rustc_must_implement_one_of(arg(...))] gets no arguments.
  • Properly check that #[allow_internal_unstable(arg(...))] gets no arguments.
  • Properly check that #[unstable_feature_bound(arg(...))] gets no arguments.
  • Properly check that #[rustc_allow_const_fn_unstable(arg(...))] gets no arguments.
  • Properly check that #[rustc_if_this_changed(arg(...))] gets no arguments.
  • Properly check that #[rustc_then_this_would_need(arg(...))] gets no arguments.

11 regressed and 2 fixed are spurious.
1 regression is real, spectest-0.1.2 uses the incorrect #[inline(always = true)] syntax. The bug that allowed this is not recent (i.e. not introduced by the new parsing infrastructure) and has existed for years

Given that there is breakage, let's ask for T-lang approval: @rust-lang/lang

Given that this is quite a niche crate, I propose to make a PR to this crate and accept the breakage.
