Title: Clean-up AST construction in syntax::ext

Fixes https://github.com/mozilla/rust/issues/6578 by merging the 3 different ways to build an AST into a single `AstBuilder` trait, creating a more uniform and briefer interface.

Also, converts the `ext_ctxt` object to not be a plain struct, as well as renaming it to `ExtCtxt`.

Seems to make expansion slightly faster for the normal case (e.g. `libcore` and `libstd`), but slower for `librustc` (slightly) and `libsyntax` (0.3s -> 0.8s! I'm investigating this.).
