SI-8202 bug compatibility with SI-8211 for quasiquotes
Move placeholder construction logic into Placeholders

Previously construction logic used to be in Parsers and deconstruction in
Placeholders making it easy to forget one if you change the other.
Move null check case higher to avoid NPE

Also use sym.isErrorneous instead of manual name check.
Improve support for patterns in vals

This commits adds construction-only support for splicing patterns into
vals (a.k.a. PatDef). Due to non-locality of the desugaring it would
have been quite expensive to support deconstruction as the only way to
do it with current trees is to perform implodePatDefs transformation on
every single tree.
SI-3452 Correct Java generic signatures for mixins, static forwarders

[Parts of this patch and some of the commentary are from @paulp]

This took me so long to figure out I can't even tell you. Partly because
there were two different bugs, one which only arose for trait forwarders
and one for mirror class forwarders, and every time I'd make one set
of tests work another set would start failing. The runtime failures
associated with these bugs were fairly well hidden because you usually
have to go through java to encounter them: scala doesn't pay that much
attention to generic signatures, so they can be wrong and scala might still
generate correct code. But java is not so lucky.

Bug #1)

During mixin composition, classes which extend traits receive forwarders
to the implementations. An attempt was made to give these the correct
info (in method "cloneBeforeErasure") but it was prone to giving
the wrong answer, because: the key attribute which the forwarder
must capture is what the underlying method will erase to *where the
implementation is*, not how it appears to the class which contains it.
That means the signature of the forwarder must be no more precise than
the signature of the inherited implementation unless additional measures
will be taken.

This subtle difference will put on an unsubtle show for you in test
run/t3452.scala.

    trait C[T]
    trait Search[M] { def search(input: M): C[Int] = null }
    object StringSearch extends Search[String] { }
    StringSearch.search("test");  // java
    // java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: StringSearch.search(Ljava/lang/String;)LC;

The principled thing to do here would be to create a pair of
methods in the host class: a mixin forwarder with the erased
signature `(String)C[Int]`, and a bridge method with the same
erased signature as the trait interface facet.

But, this turns out to be pretty hard to retrofit onto the
current setup of Mixin and Erasure, mostly due to the fact
that mixin happens after erasure which has already taken
care of bridging.

For a future, release, we should try to move all bridging
after mixin, and pursue this approach. But for now, what can
we do about `LinkageError`s for Java clients?

This commit simply checks if the pre-erasure method signature
that we generate for the trait forward erases identically to
that of the interface method. If so, we can be precise. If not,
we emit the erased signature as the generic signature.

Bug #2) The same principle is at work, at a different location.
During genjvm, objects without declared companion classes
are given static forwarders in the corresponding class, e.g.

    object Foo { def bar = 5 }

which creates these classes (taking minor liberties):

    class Foo$ { static val MODULE$ = new Foo$ ; def bar = 5 }
    class Foo  { static def bar = Foo$.MODULE$.bar }

In generating these, genjvm circumvented the usual process whereby one
creates a symbol and gives it an info, preferring to target the bytecode
directly. However generic signatures are calculated from symbol info
(in this case reusing the info from the module class.) Lacking even the
attempt which was being made in mixin to "clone before erasure", we
would have runtime failures of this kind:

    abstract class Foo {
      type T
      def f(x: T): List[T] = List()
    }
    object Bar extends Foo { type T = String }
    Bar.f("");    // java
    // java.lang.NoSuchMethodError: Bar.f(Ljava/lang/String;)Lscala/collection/immutable/List;

Before/after this commit:

    <   signature                                     f  (Ljava/lang/String;)Lscala/collection/immutable/List<Ljava/lang/String;>;
    ---
    >   signature                                     f  (Ljava/lang/Object;)Lscala/collection/immutable/List<Ljava/lang/Object;>;

This takes the warning count for compiling collections under
`-Ycheck:jvm` from 1521 to 26.
SI-7374 Test cases for fixed Java interop problem

Our generic signatures now match the erasure, so no
more nasty linkage errors.
standardizes prefixes used in named/default desugaring
standardizes checks for default getters
deduplication in Symbol.nameString

Since now it uses idString to print out the id part of the name when
-uniqid is turned on, instead of duplicating the code from idString.
introduces -Yshow-symowners

This facility, along with -Yshow-syms, has proven to be very useful
when debugging problems caused by corrupt owner chains when hacking on
named/default argument transformation.
SI-5920 enables default and named args in macros

When producing an initial spec for macros two years ago, we sort of glossed
over named/default arguments in macro applications, leaving them for future work.

Once the aforementioned future has come, I’ve made several attempts at
making things operational (e.g. last summer), but it’s always been unclear
how to marry the quite complex desugaring that tryNamesDefaults performs
with the expectations of macro programmers to see unsugared trees
in macro impl parameters.

Here’s the list of problems that arise when trying to encode named/default
arguments of macro applications:
1) When inside macro impls we don’t really care about synthetic vals
that are typically introduced to preserve evaluation order in non-positional
method applications. When we inline those synthetics, we lose information
about evaluation order, which is something that we wouldn’t like to lose
in the general case.
2) More importantly, it’s also not very exciting to see invocations of
default getters that stand for unspecified default arguments. Ideally,
we would like to provide macro programmers with right-hand sides of those
default getters, but that is: a) impossible in the current implementation
of default parameters, b) would anyway bring scoping problems that we’re
not ready to deal with just yet.

Being constantly unhappy with potential solutions to the aforementioned
problems, I’ve been unable to nail this down until the last weekend,
when I realized that: 1) even though we can’t express potential twists in
evaluation order within linearly ordered macro impl params, we can use
c.macroApplication to store all the named arguments we want, 2) even though
we can’t get exactly what we want for default arguments, we can represent
them with EmptyTree’s, which is not ideal, but pretty workable. That’s
what has been put into life in this commit.

As a pleasant side-effect, now the macro engine doesn’t have to reinvent
the wheel wrt reporting errors about insufficient arg or arglist count.
Since this logic is intertwined with the tryNamesDefaults desugaring,
we previously couldn’t make use of it and had to roll our own logic
that checked that the number of arguments and parameters of macro applications
correspond to each other. Now it’s all deduplicated and consistent.
Make handling of tuples more consistent in quasi-quotes

On one hand we know that q"($expr)" is the same as q"$expr". On the
other if we wrap it into a list and splice as q"(..$expr)" we get a
Tuple1 constructor call which is inconsistent.

This pull request fixes this inconsistency by making q"(..$expr)" being
equivalent q"(${expr.head})" for single-element list.

We also add support for matching of expressions as single-element tuples
(similarly to blocks) and remove liftables and unliftables for Tuple1
(which aren't clearly defined any longer due to q"(foo)" == q"foo"
invariant).
typecheck(q"class C") no longer crashes

MemberDefs alone can't be typechecked as is, because namer only names
contents of PackageDefs, Templates and Blocks. And, if not named, a tree
can't be typed.

This commit solves this problem by wrapping typecheckees in a trivial block
and then unwrapping the result when it returns back from the typechecker.
SI-8270 unconfuses bundles and vanilla macros

This fixes a mistake in macro impl ref typechecking that used to have
an heuristic to figure out whether it looks at a bundle method ref or at
a vanilla object method ref. Under some circumstances the heuristic could
fail, and then the macro engine would reject perfectly good macro impls.

Now every macro impl ref is typechecked twice - once as a bundle method ref
and once as a vanilla object method ref. Results are then analyzed,
checked against ambiguities (which are now correctly reported instead
of incorrectly prioritizing towards bundles) and delivered to the macro
engine.

The only heuristic left in place is the one that's used to report errors.
If both bundle and vanilla typechecks fail, then if a bundle candidate
looks sufficiently similar to a bundle, a bundle typecheck error is reported
providing some common bundle definition hints.
SI-3452 A better fix for static forwarder generic sigs

The previous commit fixed this in the wrong way. The addition
to the test case (testing an inherited method from a base class
in addition to the test with a mxin method) still failed.

Like mixin, static forwarder generation uses the exact erased
siganture of the forwardee for the forwarder. It really ought
to use the as-seen-from signature (adding requisite boxing/
unboxing), but until we do that we have to avoid emitting
generic signatures that are incoherent.
