Extraction of pinned function calls

Elixir's ^/1 (pin operator) usually does not allow runtime function calls, and only accepts previously bound user variables.

However, this macro "extracts" runtime function calls on pins in the pattern and bind their results to temporary variables named pinned__<n> (where <n> is unique integer) so that you can actually write function calls with pins! (Just like you do with Ecto.Query)

With this you are now able to write test expressions like so:

conn
|> post("/some/api")
|> json_response(200)
|> assert_match(%{
  "success" => true,
  "id" => ^context.some_fixture.id,
  "bytesize" => ^byte_size(context.some_fixture.contents)
})

You cannot nest pinned expressions. See test/assert_match_test.exs for more usages.
