trace: Add shorthand syntax for local fields (#1103)

## Motivation

A common pattern in `tokio-trace` is to use the value of a local
variable as a field on a span or event. Currently, this requires code
like:
```rust
info!(foo = foo);
```
which is not particularly ergonomic given how commonly this occurs.
Struct initializers support a shorthand syntax for fields where the name
of the field is the same as a local variable, and `tokio-trace` should
as well.

## Solution

This branch adds support for syntax like
```rust
let foo = ...;
info!(foo);
```
and 
```rust
let foo = Foo {
    bar: ...,
    ...
};
info!(foo.bar)
```
to the `tokio-trace` span and event macros. This syntax also works with
the `Debug` and `Display` field shorthand.

The span macros previously used a field name with no value to indicate 
an uninitialized field. A new issue, #1138, has been opened for finding a
replacement syntax for uninitialized fields. Until then, the `tokio-trace` 
macros will no longer provide a way to create fields without values, 
although the `-core` API will continue to support this.

Closes #1062
