[PATCH v2 02/11] rust: macros: use `quote!` from vendored crate

7 Jan 2026

From: Gary Guo gary@garyguo.net
With `quote` crate now vendored in the kernel, we can remove our custom
`quote!` macro implementation and just rely on that crate instead.
The `quote` crate uses types from the `proc-macro2` library so we also
update to use that, and perform conversion in the top-level lib.rs.
Clippy complains about unnecessary `.to_string()` as `proc-macro2`
provides additional `PartialEq` impl, so they are removed.
