These were used by libSyntax to indicate that it had encountered something malformed or that it couldn't represent. This does not fit into the new parser's resilience model, so we no longer need these nodes.

The new Swift parser in SwiftSyntax does not ever construct Unknown*Syntax
nodes. These are a relic of the C++, which would use these nodes as stand-ins
for cases where the legacy parser did not known how to build a node, or built
one incorrectly. Simultaneously, the formatter was relying on unknown nodes
containing verbatim text it would leave untouched. The general replacement
for that case is UnexpectedSyntax. Drop the Unknown*Syntax entrypoints in the
visitors, and replace refernces to "unknown syntax" with "unexpected syntax".
