auto merge of #15405 : pcwalton/rust/delifetime, r=nick29581

This was parsed by the parser but completely ignored; not even stored in
the AST!

This breaks code that looks like:

    static X: &'static [u8] = &'static [1, 2, 3];

Change this code to the shorter:

    static X: &'static [u8] = &[1, 2, 3];

Closes #15312.
