The pretty printer in rustc_ast_pretty has a section of methods commented "Convenience functions to talk to the printer". This PR pulls those out to a separate module. This leaves pp.rs with only the minimal API that is core to the pretty printing algorithm.
I found this separation to be helpful in https://github.com/dtolnay/prettyplease because it makes clear when changes are adding some fundamental new capability to the pretty printer algorithm vs just making it more convenient to call some already existing functionality.
