Rewrite the two derive macros for `Zeroable` using `syn`. One positive
side effect of this change is that tuple structs are now supported by
them. Additionally, syntax errors and the error emitted when trying to
use one of the derive macros on an `enum` are improved. Otherwise no
functional changes intended.

For example:

    #[derive(Zeroable)]
    enum Num {
        A(u32),
        B(i32),
    }

Produced this error before this commit:

    error: no rules expected keyword `enum`
     --&gt; tests/ui/compile-fail/zeroable/enum.rs:5:1
      |
    5 | enum Num {
      | ^^^^ no rules expected this token in macro call
      |
    note: while trying to match keyword `struct`
     --&gt; src/macros.rs
      |
      |             $vis:vis struct $name:ident
      |                      ^^^^^^

Now the error is:

    error: cannot derive `Zeroable` for an enum
     --&gt; tests/ui/compile-fail/zeroable/enum.rs:5:1
      |
    5 | enum Num {
      | ^^^^

    error: cannot derive `Zeroable` for an enum

<title>rust: pin-init: internal: add utility API for syn error handling</title>

<content type='text'>
The API is similar to diagnostics handling in rustc and uses a
`ErrorGuaranteed` value to signify that an error has been emitted. It
supports both fatal errors (which abort the macro expansion immediately
by returning `Err(ErrorGuaranteed)`) and non-fatal ones at generation
time. These errors are appended to the token stream after generation has
finished normally. This allows giving good errors while still expanding
most of the code as expected to avoid the user encountering additional
errors (for example missing definitions).
