Complete removal of #[main] attribute from compiler
resolves rust-lang#93786
---
The `#[main]` attribute was mostly removed from the language in rust-lang#84217, but not completely. It is still recognized as a builtin attribute by the compiler, but it has no effect. However, this no-op attribute is no longer gated by `#[feature(main)]` (which no longer exists), so it's possible to include it in code *on stable* without any errors, which seems unintentional. For example, the following code is accepted ([playground link](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&code=%23%5Bmain%5D%0Afn%20main()%20%7B%0A%20%20%20%20println!(%22hello%20world%22)%3B%0A%7D%0A)).
```rust
#[main]
fn main() {
println!("hello world");
}
```
Aside from that oddity, the existence of this attribute causes code like the following to fail ([playground link](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2021&code=use%20tokio%3A%3Amain%3B%0A%0A%23%5Bmain%5D%0Afn%20main()%20%7B%0A%20%20%20%20println!(%22hello%20world%22)%3B%0A%7D%0A)). According rust-lang#84062 (comment), the removal of `#[main]` was expected to eliminate this conflict (previously reported as rust-lang#62127).
```rust
use tokio::main;
#[main]
fn main() {
println!("hello world");
}
```
```
error[E0659]: `main` is ambiguous
--> src/main.rs:3:3
|
3 | #[main]
| ^^^^ ambiguous name
|
= note: ambiguous because of a name conflict with a builtin attribute
= note: `main` could refer to a built-in attribute
```
[This error message can be confusing](https://stackoverflow.com/q/71024443/1114), as the mostly-removed `#[main]` attribute is not mentioned in any documentation.
Since the current availability of `#[main]` on stable seems unintentional, and to needlessly block use of the `main` identifier in the attribute namespace, this PR finishes removing the `#[main]` attribute as described in rust-lang#29634 (comment) by deleting it from `builtin_attrs.rs`, and adds two test cases to ensure that the attribute is no longer accepted and no longer conflicts with other attributes imported as `main`.File tree
