Binding a value of an uninhabited type now makes everything following it
unreachable. In `stack_pin_init!` the `Infallible` annotation is such a
binding, so the `match x {}` after it is reported as unreachable and
`-Dwarnings` turns that into an error.
Annotate the `Result` instead of the error value, which requires the
initializer to be infallible just the same but has nothing following it.
`Infallible` is also printed as `!` in diagnostics now, so bless the two
tests that show it.

I created #172 as an alternative fix which I think is clearer. |

In Rust 1.100.0, `Infallible` will become an alias of `!`. The let
binding in `stack_pin_init` will thus become unreachable and produce
an "unreachable expression" warning for the subsequent match, and thus
will fail a `-Dwarnings` build. For this macro, all we need to know is
that the error type is uninhabited, so replace this with an irrefutable
pattern instead.
[ The error looks like (dummy reproducer):
