Benno Lossin 9218cf826f rust: init: change the generated name of guard variables
The initializers created by the `[try_][pin_]init!` macros utilize the
guard pattern to drop already initialized fields, when initialization
fails mid-way. These guards are generated to have the same name as the
field that they handle. To prevent namespacing issues [1] when the
field name is the same as e.g. a constant name, add `__` as a prefix
and `_guard` as the suffix.

[ Gary says:

   "Here's the simplified example:

    ```
    macro_rules! f {
        () => {
            let a = 1;
            let _: u32 = a;
        }
    }

    const a: u64 = 1;

    fn main() {
        f!();
    }
    ```

    The `a` in `f` have a different hygiene so normally it is scoped to the
    macro expansion and wouldn't escape. Interestingly a constant is still
    preferred despite the hygiene so constants escaped into the macro,
    leading to the error."
