Add attribute to ignore fields of derived labels (#5366)
# Objective
Fixes#5362
## Solution
Add the attribute `#[label(ignore_fields)]` for `*Label` types.
```rust
#[derive(SystemLabel)]
pub enum MyLabel {
One,
// Previously this was not allowed since labels cannot contain data.
#[system_label(ignore_fields)]
Two(PhantomData<usize>),
}
```
## Notes
This label makes it possible for equality to behave differently depending on whether or not you are treating the type as a label. For example:
```rust
#[derive(SystemLabel, PartialEq, Eq)]
#[system_label(ignore_fields)]
pub struct Foo(usize);
```
If you compare it as a label, it will ignore the wrapped fields as the user requested. But if you compare it as a `Foo`, the derive will incorrectly compare the inner fields. I see a few solutions
1. Do nothing. This is technically intended behavior, but I think we should do our best to prevent footguns.
2. Generate impls of `PartialEq` and `Eq` along with the `#[derive(Label)]` macros. This is a breaking change as it requires all users to remove these derives from their types.
3. Only allow `PhantomData` to be used with `ignore_fields` -- seems needlessly prescriptive.

## Changelog
* Added the `ignore_fields` attribute to the derive macros for `*Label` types.
* Added an example showing off different forms of the derive macro.

## Migration Guide
> This section is optional. If there are no breaking changes, you can delete this section.
- If this PR is a breaking change (relative to the last release of Bevy), describe how a user might need to migrate their code to support these changes
- Simply adding new functionality is not a breaking change.
- Fixing behavior that was definitely a bug, rather than a questionable design choice is not a breaking change.
