rust: init: add support for arbitrary paths in init macros
Previously only `ident` and generic types were supported in the `{try_}{pin_}init!` macros. This patch allows arbitrary path fragments, so for example `Foo::Bar` but also very complex paths such as `<Foo as Baz>::Bar::<0, i32>`. Internally this is accomplished by using `path` fragments. Due to some peculiar declarative macro limitations, we have to "forget" certain additional parsing information in the token trees. This is achieved by using the `paste!` proc macro. It does not actually modify the input, since no `[< >]` will be present in the input, so it just strips the information held by declarative macros. For example, if a declarative macro takes `$t:path` as its input, it cannot sensibly propagate this to a macro that takes `$($p:tt)*` as its input, since the `$t` token will only be considered one `tt` token for the second macro. If we first pipe the tokens through `paste!`, then it parses as expected. Suggested-by:Asahi Lina <lina@asahilina.net> Reviewed-by:
