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
`FromConst`. The value is then converted and appears in the
associated constant `FromConst::VALUE`. 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)`.
Add the `cv!` macro to the prelude so it doesn't need to be imported
explicitly to use it.
