535aecbd4f [Macros] Check primary-file macro definitions more thoroughly.
Error if a macro is undefined, and warn if it refers to an external
macro definition that cannot be found.

7000969f14 Introduce and use #externalMacro for externally-defined macros.
Align the grammar of macro declarations with SE-0382, so that macro
definitions are parsed as an expression. External macro definitions
are referenced via a referenced to the macro `#externalMacro`. Define
that macro in the standard library, and recognize uses of it as the
definition of other macros to use externally-defined macros. For
example, this means that the "stringify" macro used in a lot of
examples is now defined as something like this:

    @expression macro stringify<T>(_ value: T) -> (T, String) =
        #externalMacro(module: "MyMacros", type: "StringifyMacro")

We still parse the old "A.B" syntax for two reasons. First, it's
helpful to anyone who has existing code using the prior syntax, so they
get a warning + Fix-It to rewrite to the new syntax. Second, we use it
to define builtin macros like `externalMacro` itself, which looks like this:

    @expression
    public macro externalMacro<T>(module: String, type: String) -> T =
        Builtin.ExternalMacro

This uses the same virtual `Builtin` module as other library builtins,
and we can expand it to handle other builtin macro implementations
(such as #line) over time.

f0fc1c51bb Remove compiler plugin support library
The functionality of the compiler plugin support library has been
subsumed into parts of the compiler. Remove the functionality and its
last test.
