string literal field names don't compile for level! event macros

Description

Tracing's macros support string literals as field names. In the documentation, we give an example with a span:

Fields with names that are not Rust identifiers, or with names that are Rust reserved words,
may be created using quoted string literals. However, this may not be used with the local
variable shorthand.

// records an event with fields whose names are not Rust identifiers
//  - "guid:x-request-id", containing a `:`, with the value "abcdef"
//  - "type", which is a reserved word, with the value "request"
span!(Level::TRACE, "api", "guid:x-request-id" = "abcdef", "type" = "request");

This form works when used with the span! and event! macros. However, when used with the level event macros (e.g. info!, debug!, and friends), the string literal form doesn't compile --- the macro appears to interpret this as format arguments, rather than as fields. For example:

use tracing::{self, Level}; // 0.1.37

fn main() {
    let foo = "lol";
    // this compiles
    tracing::span!(Level::TRACE, "api", "guid:x-request-id" = ?foo);
    
    // this compiles
    tracing::trace_span!("api", "guid:x-request-id" = ?foo);
    
    // this compiles
    tracing::event!(Level::TRACE, "guid:x-request-id" = ?foo);
    
    // this doesn't compile
    tracing::trace!("guid:x-request-id" = ?foo)
}

(playground)

We should fix this.

Also, it appears that the macros.rs integration test doesn't contain any tests for this form: https://github.com/tokio-rs/tracing/blob/99e0377a6c48dd88b06ed2ae0259c62d8312c58d/tracing/tests/macros.rs

This is probably why it only works in some cases. 🙃
