[PATCH 10/10] rust: pin-init: internal: turn `PhantomPinned` error into warnings

[Gary Guo <gary@garyguo.net>]

The `PhantomPinned` detection is just a lint, and is emitted as an error
because there is no `compile_warning!()` macro, and
`proc-macro-diagnostics` is not stable.

Use of `#[deprecated = ""]` attribute to approximate custom proc-macro
warnings. A new line is added before message for visual clarity.

An example warning with this trick looks like this:

    warning: use of deprecated function `_::warn`:
             The field `pin` of type `PhantomPinned` only has an effect if it has the `#[pin]` attribute
     --> test.rs:9:5
      |
    9 |     pin: marker::PhantomPinned,
      |     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
