692: [WIP] Correctly parse attributes r=matklad a=DJMcNab
Reference - https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/attributes.html
This fixes/investigates inner attributes for:
- [x] `impl` blocks
- [x] `extern` blocks
- [x] `fn`s (fixes#689)
- [x] `mod`s (already supported)
- [x] 'block expressions' (the long text just describes all 'blocks' used as statements)
This also investigates/fixes outer attributes for:
- [ ] 'most statements' (see also: #685, https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/expressions.html#expression-attributes)
- [x] Enum variants, Struct and Union fields (Fixed in #507)
- [ ] 'Match expression arms' (@matklad can you provide a test case which explains what this means?)
- [ ] 'Generic lifetime or type parameters'
- [ ] 'Elements of array expressions, tuple expressions, call expressions, tuple-style struct and enum variant expressions'
- [ ] 'The tail expression of block expressions'

We need to be able to get the receiver even if there is no field name yet, and
currently "a." wouldn't get parsed as a field name at all. This seems to help.
The cast expression expected any type via types::type_() function,
but the language spec does only allow TypeNoBounds (types without direct extra bounds
via `+`).
**Example:**
```rust
fn test() {
6i8 as i32 + 5;
}
```
This fails, because the types::type_() function which should parse the type after the
as keyword is greedy, and takes all plus sign after path types as extra.
My proposed fix is to replace the not implemented `type_no_plus()` just calls (`type_()`)
function, which is used at several places. The replacement is `type_with_bounds_cond(p: &mut Parser, allow_bounds: bool)`, which passes the condition to relevant sub-parsers.
This function is then called by `type_()` and the new public `type_no_bounds()`.
