Description

rustfmt does not change trailing commas in debug_assert invocations, and both of the following are left unchanged:

debug_assert(a == b,);
debug_assert(a == b);

While obviously macros should be handled with care, rustfmt should be able to handle at least common function-like ones as if they were functions, I think.

Research direction

Start by tracing rustfmt's handling of function-like macro invocations, using the two debug_assert examples as regression cases. Done means trailing-comma normalization matches ordinary function-like calls for these examples without changing unrelated macro formatting.
