Standardize reference of "Attribute Macro"

The Attributes section uses "macro attributes" but links to a section calling them "attribute macros"

I'm thinking of this but I'd prefer "macro attributes" if the wording hasn't been standardized yet. Because we have a similar wording "procedural macro attributes" and if we call the earlier "attribute macros", the word order isn't consistent. @ehuss thoughts?

I use both depending on context - "macro attributes and other attributes" or "attribute macros and other macros".

Hmm, that makes sense, it seems to make it clearer what we talk about now. So the question now is that whether we should standardize it or not. We should do if it makes some confusion, but it doesn't seem to be a serious problem right now.
