add [pin_]init_scope to execute code before creating an initializer

In more complex cases, initializers need to run arbitrary code before
assigning initializers to fields. While this is possible using the
underscore codeblock feature (`_: {}`), values returned by such
functions cannot be used from later field initializers.

The two new functinos `[pin_]init_scope` allow users to first run some
fallible code and then return an initializer which the function turns
into a single initializer. This permits using the same value multiple
times by different fields.

 ## [Unreleased]
 
+### Added
+
+- `[pin_]init_scope` functions to run arbitrary code inside of an initializer.
+
 ### Changed
 
 - `#[pin_data]` now generates a `*Projection` struct similar to the `pin-project` crate.
