The pretty-printers open and close "boxes" of text a lot. The open and close operations must be matched. The matching is currently all implicit and very easy to get wrong. (rust-lang#140280 and rust-lang#140246 are two recent pretty-printing fixes that both involved unclosed boxes.) This commit introduces `BoxMarker`, a marker type that represents an open box. It makes box opening/closing explicit, which makes it much easier to understand and harder to get wrong. The commit also removes many comments are on `end` calls saying things like "end outer head-block", "Close the outer-box". These demonstrate how confusing the implicit approach was, but aren't necessary any more.
They all have a single call site, aren't that big, and removing them avoids having to pass some `BoxMarker`s.
