Warn on pointless #[derive] in more places

This fixes the regression in rust-lang#49934 and ensures that unused `#[derive]`s on statements, expressions and generic type parameters survive to trip the `unused_attributes` lint. For `#[derive]` on macro invocations it has a hardcoded warning since linting occurs after expansion. This also adds regression testing for some nodes that were already warning properly.

closes rust-lang#49934
