Result-ify src/parser.rs (#608)
* Make ConvertToAst trait fallible

It's got some panics, and we'll be switching those to errors!

* First example of a diagnostic-driven error

Add a diagnostic-driven error `#[wasm_bindgen]` being attached to public
functions, and add some macros to boot to make it easier to generate errors!

* Result-ify `src/parser.rs`

This commit converts all of `src/parser.rs` away from panics to using
`Diagnostic` instead. Along the way this adds a test case per changed `panic!`,
ensuring that we don't regress in these areas!

Prepare to have targeted error diagnostics (#604)
This commit starts to add infrastructure for targeted diagnostics in the
`#[wasm_bindgen]` attribute, intended eventually at providing much better errors
as they'll be pointing to exactly the code in question rather than always to a
`#[wasm_bindgen]` attribute.

The general changes are are:

* A new `Diagnostic` error type is added to the backend. A `Diagnostic` is
  created with a textual error or with a span, and it can also be created from a
  list of diagnostics. A `Diagnostic` implements `ToTokens` which emits a bunch
  of invocations of `compile_error!` that will cause rustc to later generate
  errors.

* Fallible implementations of `ToTokens` have switched to using a new trait,
  `TryToTokens`, which returns a `Result` to use `?` with.

* The `MacroParse` trait has changed to returning a `Result` to propagate errors
  upwards.

* A new `ui-tests` crate was added which uses `compiletest_rs` to add UI tests.
  These UI tests will verify that our output improves over time and does not
  regress. This test suite is added to CI as a new builder as well.

* No `Diagnostic` instances are created just yet, everything continues to panic
  and return `Ok`, with the one exception of the top-level invocations of
  `syn::parse` which now create a `Diagnostic` and pass it along.

This commit does not immediately improve diagnostics but the intention is that
it is laying the groundwork for improving diagnostics over time. It should
ideally be much easier to contribute improved diagnostics after this commit!
