[PATCH 00/11] refactor Rust proc macros with `syn`

[Gary Guo <gary@kernel.org>]

From: Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net>

This series convert Rust proc macros that we have with `syn`, and replace the
custom `quote!` macro that we have with the vendored `quote!` macro. The
`pin-init` macros are not converted `syn` yet; Benno has a work in progress in
converting them. They're however converted to use `quote` and `proc-macro2`
crate so our custom `quote!` macro can be removed.

Overall this improves the robustness of the macros as we have precise parsing of
the AST rather than relying on heuristics to extract needed information from
there. This is also a quality-of-life improvement to those using language
servers (e.g. Rust analyzer) as the span information of the proc macros are now
preserved which allows the "jump-to-definition" feature to work, even when used
on completely custom macros such as `module!`.

Miguel gave a very good explaination on why `syn` is a good idea in the patch
series that introduced it [1], which I shall not repeat here.
