Minor module structure tweaks, trying to make define_queries! nicer and more like define_callbacks!. Details in individual commits.

Zalathar is not on the review rotation at the moment.
They may take a while to respond.

@Zalathar: not sure if you'll like these, but I figured it's worth a try.

I was a little uneasy about defining other items in the same module as per-query submodules, but #153685 will end up removing all of those other items except make_query_vtables (and for_each_query_vtable!), so maybe that's fine.

Remove use rustc_middle::queries::self from rustc_query_impl.
8abfc7c 
This use item lets `rustc_query_impl` use `queries::foo` to refer to
things from `rustc_middle`, which is confusing, especially within
`define_queries!`.

This commit removes it, requiring more explicit qualification of
imported things. It also removes some unnecessary leading `::`
qualifiers from `rustc_middle` mentions for consistency, conciseness,
and to spare the poor reader's eyes.
@nnethercote
Put more things into mod query_impl.
286acc2 
`define_queries!` currently outputs some things (including one `mod
$name` per query) into a module `query_impl`, and some things into the
crate root. This commit moves the latter things into `query_impl`. This
is (a) nicer, and (b) more closely matches what `define_callbacks!`
does.
@nnethercote
Move location of mod query_impl.
5d0eea5 
This:
- reduces the amount of stuff inside `define_queries!`
- makes `define_queries!` look more like `define_callbacks!`

Also, I want to improve the formatting of `define_queries!` and this
will avoid one level of indentation.

This PR was rebased onto a different main commit. Here's a range-diff highlighting what actually changed.

Rebasing is a normal part of keeping PRs up to date, so no action is needed—this note is just to help reviewers.

I have rebased over #153685, see what you think now.

Something I found while playing around with this branch (and also on main) is that messing up the imports in these macro-generated modules can sometimes result in the bootstrap compiler spinning for a very long time before failing, on the order of multiple minutes instead of the usual ~20 second successful compile time.

That's not directly actionable, but it does make me want to find a style of imports that is less vulnerable to that failure mode.

It also makes me wonder whether the common imports needed by the query_impl module should be declared out in lib.rs (where they can be auto-sorted), or in plumbing.rs (where they are closer to the macro-generated code that uses them). Or perhaps we should be using even more fully-qualified names in the macro, to minimize or eliminate the need for blanket imports.

While thinking about the implications of my previous comment, I came up with the idea for #153760, which I think is a promising alternative to some of the changes in this PR.

Superseded by #153760.

Rollup merge of rust-lang#153760 - Zalathar:query-impl, r=nnethercote
6d7ea71 
Move and expand the big `rustc_query_impl` macro into a physical `query_impl.rs`

While looking through rust-lang#153588, I came up with a related but different change that I think resolves a lot of tension in the current module arrangement.

The core idea is that if we both define and expand the big macro in the same physical module `rustc_query_impl::query_impl`, then we no longer need to worry about where `mod query_impl` should be declared, or where its imports should go, because those questions now have simple and obvious answers.

The second commit follows up with some more changes inspired by rust-lang#153588. Those particular follow-ups are not essential to the main idea of this PR.
