impl FromStr for proc_macro::Literal

Note that unlike `impl FromStr for proc_macro::TokenStream`, this impl does not permit whitespace or comments. The input string must consist of nothing but your literal.

- `"1".parse::<Literal>()` ⟶ ok

- `"1.0".parse::<Literal>()` ⟶ ok

- `"'a'".parse::<Literal>()` ⟶ ok

- `"\"\n\"".parse::<Literal>()` ⟶ ok

- `"0 1".parse::<Literal>()` ⟶ LexError

- `" 0".parse::<Literal>()` ⟶ LexError

- `"0 ".parse::<Literal>()` ⟶ LexError

- `"/* comment */0".parse::<Literal>()` ⟶ LexError

- `"0/* comment */".parse::<Literal>()` ⟶ LexError

- `"0// comment".parse::<Literal>()` ⟶ LexError

## Use case

```rust
let hex_int: Literal = format!("0x{:x}", int).parse().unwrap();
```

The only way this is expressible in the current API is significantly worse.

```rust
let hex_int = match format!("0x{:x}", int)
    .parse::<TokenStream>()
    .unwrap()
    .into_iter()
    .next()
    .unwrap()
{
    TokenTree::Literal(literal) => literal,
    _ => unreachable!(),
};
