Add enter_trace_span! that checks #[cfg("tracing")]

Includes a custom syntax shortand to enter_trace_span! with NAME::SUBNAME.

MaybeEnteredTraceSpan is `pub use`d in lib.rs to make it available also in bin/, just in case.

+/// In addition to the syntax accepted by [tracing::span!], this macro optionally allows passing
+/// the span name (i.e. the first macro argument) in the form `NAME::SUBNAME` (without quotes) to
+/// indicate that the span has name "NAME" (usually the name of the component) and has an additional
+/// more specific name "SUBNAME" (usually the function name). The latter is passed to the [tracing]
+/// infrastructure as a span field with the name "NAME". This allows not being distracted by
+/// subnames when looking at the trace in <https://ui.perfetto.dev>, but when deeper introspection
+/// is needed within a component, it's still possible to view the subnames directly in the UI by
+/// selecting a span, clicking on the "NAME" argument on the right, and clicking on "Visualize
+/// argument values".
+/// ```rust
+/// // for example, the first will expand to the second
