Add new methods for building return <x>; expressions/statements in our AST.

gcc/rust/ChangeLog:

	* ast/rust-ast-builder.h: Declare it.
	* ast/rust-ast-builder.cc (Builder::return_expr): Define it.

Couldn't we use make_unique here ? I believe we can even get rid of our implementation since baseline cpp version has been bumped to cpp14.

tried using it and it complains about not finding a matching constructor:

../../gcc/rust/ast/rust-ast-builder.cc:220:39: error: no matching function for call to ‘make_unique<Rust::AST::ReturnExpr>(std::remove_reference<std::unique_ptr<Rust::AST::Expr>&>::type, <brace-enclosed initializer list>, location_t&)’
  220 |   return std::make_unique<ReturnExpr> (std::move (to_return), {}, loc);
      |          ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

but maybe I'm missing something

std::unique_ptr<Expr> return_expr (std::unique_ptr<Expr> &&to_return
= nullptr);

std::unique_ptr<Expr> && I wish it was an optional instead, this would draw a clear line and we would be able to easily catch rogue null pointers.

I think we'd need to change the AST for this then, because the ReturnExpr class only keeps a unique_ptr. So the builder's code would look like this:

std::unique_ptr<Expr>
Builder::return_expr (tl::optional<std::unique_ptr<Expr>> &&to_return)
{
  if (to_return)
    return std::unique_ptr<Expr> (
      new ReturnExpr (std::move (*to_return), {}, loc));

  return std::unique_ptr<Expr> (new ReturnExpr (nullptr, {}, loc));
}

which is quite heavy
