Fix syntax in -Zunpretty-expanded output for derived PartialEq.

If you do `derive(PartialEq)` on a packed struct, the output shown by
`-Zunpretty=expanded` includes expressions like this:
```
{ self.x } == { other.x }
```
This is invalid syntax. This doesn't break compilation, because the AST
nodes are constructed within the compiler. But it does mean anyone using
`-Zunpretty=expanded` output as a guide for hand-written impls could get
a nasty surprise.

This commit fixes things by instead using this form:
```
({ self.x }) == ({ other.x })
```
