Build errors with edition=2018 after clean cargo fix --edition

[SimonSapin]

With nightly-2018-11-01 in Servo, after finally getting cargo fix --edition to complete without warnings. (Which was not easy: rust-lang/rustfix#149, https:/rust-lang-nursery/rustfix/issues/150), I added edition = "2018" to (almost) all Cargo.toml files.

At this point, the theory is that cargo check should Just Work, but it doesn’t. I’ve hit multiple issues, let me know if they should be filed separately.

Dependencies not known to Cargo

error[E0658]: use of extern prelude names introduced with `extern crate` items is unstable (see issue #54658)

   = help: add #![feature(extern_crate_item_prelude)] to the crate attributes to enable  

The "extern prelude" is one way to fix this, but another is to is a crate-local path crate::proc_macro::TokenStream to the name that is introduced by extern crate.

This feature is also missing a tracking issue, the error message points to the implementation PR: #54658 (comment)

Migrating generated code

cargo fix did fix similar cases in "normal" source files, but generated code needs to be fixed in the code generator.

These were the remaining ones after I’d already taken care of the absolute paths.

New warnings

Not as much of an issue than build errors, but slightly unexpected: switching editions uncovered new unused_mut warnings that were not present before. Maybe this is because 2018 currently implies NLL / MIR-borrowck?
