attributes: implement #[instrument(ret)] (#1716)

* attributes: implement `#[instrument(ret)]`

## Motivation

Currently, users have to explicitly call logging functions at the end of
functions if they wanted to record values being returned. For example,
```rust
fn increment(a: i32) -> i32 {
    let succ = a + 1;
    tracing::debug!(?succ);
    succ
}
```
The code above will be significantly simpler if we provide the
functionality to record returned values.

## Solution

This PR adds the exact feature we're talking here, which enables users
to write the code below instead.
```rust
#[instrument(ret)]
fn increment(a: i32) -> i32 {
    a + 1
}
```
