Clarify that we will "eventually" lint 

This RFC means to specify that we will *eventually* issue a lint in
all editions when `extern` is not prefixed with `unsafe`.  Let's
specify this more clearly.

(Thanks to Waffle and joshtriplett for raising this point.)

An `extern` block can be placed anywhere a function declaration could appear (generally at the top level of a module).
* On editions >= 2024, you *must* write all `extern` blocks as `unsafe extern`.
* On editions < 2024, you *may* write `unsafe extern`, or you can write an `extern` block without the `unsafe` keyword. Writing an `extern` block without the `unsafe` keyword is provided for compatibility only, and will generate a warning.

* `unsafe extern` interacts with the `unsafe_code` lint, and a `deny` or `forbid` with that lint will deny or forbid the unsafe external block.
Within an `extern` block is zero or more declarations of external functions and/or external static values.

The grammar of the language is updated so that:
* Editions >= 2024 *must* prefix all `extern` blocks with `unsafe`.
* Editions < 2024 *should* prefix `extern` blocks with `unsafe`, this is a warn-by-default compatibility lint when `unsafe` is missing.
* Editions < 2024 *should* prefix `extern` blocks with `unsafe`, this will eventually be a warn-by-default compatibility lint when `unsafe` is missing.
