attributes: support adding arbitrary fields to the instrument macro (#596)

This PR adds support for adding arbitrary key/value pairs to be used as
fields to `tracing::instrument`.

Current syntax:
```rust
#[instrument(fields(key = "value", v = 1, b = true, empty))]
```

- Empty keys are supported
- If a key is not a single identifier, it's value is not a
  string/int/bool (or missing), is repeated or shares a name with a
  parameter, an error is reported

Fixes: #573
