update rustc_ast crate descriptions in documentation

I noticed this the other day and figured I'd suggest a refresh. It seems like a relic from the days of `libsyntax` that got missed as things were split out into separate crates, since the current documentation text references elements that were moved into their own respective crates (e.g. `rustc_parse`)

 The `rustc_ast` crate contains those things concerned purely with syntax

+– that is, the AST ("abstract syntax tree"), along with some definitions for tokens and token streams, data structures/traits for mutating ASTs, and shared definitions for other AST-related parts of the compiler (like the lexer and macro-expansion).
