singleton: forward attributes and visibility

This only works in the long form with a named variable because of
constraints on where the `vis` metavariable can be used.

@@ -24,6 +24,7 @@ and this project adheres to [Semantic Versioning](http://semver.org/).
 - Added the ability to name the statics generated by `singleton!()` for better debuggability (#364, #380).
 - Added `critical-section-single-core` feature which provides an implementation for the `critical_section` crate for single-core systems, based on disabling all interrupts. (#447)
 - Added support for `embedded-hal` version 1 delay traits, requiring rust 1.60.
+- `singleton!()` now forwards attributes and visibility (#521).
 
 ### Fixed
 - Fixed `singleton!()` statics sometimes ending up in `.data` instead of `.bss` (#364, #380).
