Remove NtExpr and NtLiteral.

Notes about tests:
- tests/ui/rfcs/rfc-2294-if-let-guard/feature-gate.rs: some messages are
  now duplicated due to repeated parsing.

- tests/ui/rfcs/rfc-2497-if-let-chains/disallowed-positions.rs: ditto.

- `tests/ui/proc-macro/macro-rules-derive-cfg.rs`: the diff looks large
  but the only difference is the insertion of a single
  invisible-delimited group around a metavar.
