Currently, using NonZero/Bounded constants is quite verbose. It's
unfortunate because it disincentivizes using it in interface boundaries.
Introduce a macro to make it nicer to use. The macro `cv!` (for constant
value) takes a const integer expression and widens it to i128 (at build
time only) before passing it as a const generic value to a new trait
function `FromConst::from_const`. The trait is implemented by NonZero,
Bounded, and Alignment and lets values of each be constructed from
constants without a verbose turbofish syntax. For example,
`const { NonZero::new(1).unwrap() }` can be written as `cv!(1)`.
