rust: init: add `assert_pinned` macro

Add a macro to statically check if a field of a struct is marked with
`#[pin]` ie that it is structurally pinned. This can be used when
`unsafe` code needs to rely on fields being structurally pinned.

The macro has a special "inline" mode for the case where the type
depends on generic parameters from the surrounding scope.

[ Replaced `compile_fail` with `ignore` and a TODO note. Removed
  `pub` from example to clean `unreachable_pub` lint. - Miguel ]
