Mark all of the existing

impl From<...> for Error {
    fn from(err: ...) -> Self {
        ...
    }
}

functions as `#[inline]`

There was a recent request [1] to inline the simple from() Error
functions to avoid the function call overhead.

This patch inlines all of the functions (except for the pin-initi and
syn) and converts one existing `inline(always)` to `inline` to match
the styles.

Applied to `rust-next` -- thanks everyone!

    [ Dropped `projection.rs` since it is in another tree and already marked
      as `inline(always)` and reworded accordingly. Changed Link tag to
      Gary's original message and added Suggested-by. - Miguel ]

Alistair: please take a look at the reword in case you disagree. Thanks!

Cheers,
Miguel
