[PATCH v2 03/12] rust: init: make guards in the init macros hygienic

From: Benno Lossin
Date: Wed Jul 19 2023 - 10:21:02 EST


Use hygienic identifiers for the guards instead of the field names. This
makes the init macros feel more like normal struct initializers, since
assigning identifiers with the name of a field does not create
conflicts.
Also change the internals of the guards, no need to make the `forget`
function `unsafe`, since users cannot access the guards anyways. Now the
guards are carried directly on the stack and have no extra `Cell<bool>`
field that marks if they have been forgotten or not, instead they are
just forgotten via `mem::forget`.

v1 -> v2:
* use Gary's `paste!` macro to create the guard hygiene
