better-macro has deliberate RCE in proc-macro (#966)

It's "Proving A Point" in
https://github.com/raycar5/better-macro/blob/master/doc/hi.md but there's
no guarantee that this will remain benign (or is actually benign right
now). The crate also has no useful functionality.

# `better-macro` has deliberate RCE to prove a point
[better-macro](https://crates.io/crates/better-macro) is a fake crate which is
"Proving A Point" that proc-macros can run arbitrary code. This a particularly
novel or interesting observation.
It currently opens `https://github.com/raycar5/better-macro/blob/master/doc/hi.md`
which doesn't appear to have any malicious content, but there's no guarantee that
will remain the case.
This crate has no useful functionality, and should not be used.
