Update usage of `syn` in Procedural Macros chapter 

This makes 2 changes:
1. It updates the versions of `syn` and `quote` to the latest versions.
2. It updates the code to not use the deprecated type alias `syn::MacroInput` and instead use the preferred `syn::DeriveInput`. `MacroInput` will be removed in the next breaking version of `syn`. See https://github.com/dtolnay/syn/pull/173

Great, so let's write `impl_hello_world(&ast)`.
```rust,ignore
fn impl_hello_world(ast: &syn::MacroInput) -> quote::Tokens {
fn impl_hello_world(ast: &syn::DeriveInput) -> quote::Tokens {

quote! {

So this is where quotes comes in. The `ast` argument is a struct that gives us
a representation of our type (which can be either a `struct` or an `enum`).

Check out the [docs](https://docs.rs/syn/0.11.11/syn/struct.DeriveInput.html),
there is some useful information there. We are able to get the name of the
type using `ast.ident`. The `quote!` macro lets us write up the Rust code
that we wish to return and convert it into `Tokens`. `quote!` lets us use some

That should be it. Let's try to compile `hello-world`.

The idiomatic way to report errors in procedural macros is to panic:
```rust,ignore
