Rollup merge of rust-lang#74203 - nnethercote:enforce-static-symbol-order, r=petrochenkov

Enforce the static symbol order.

By making the proc macro abort if any symbols are out of order.

The commit also changes the proc macro collect multiple errors (of order
or duplicated symbols) and prints them at the end, which is useful if
you have multiple errors.
