Change the parameter name of From::from to `value`

The `From` trait is currently defined as:
```rust
pub trait From<T>: Sized {
    fn from(_: T) -> Self;
}
```

The name of the argument is `_`. I am proposing to change it to `value`, ie.
```rust
pub trait From<T>: Sized {
    fn from(value: T) -> Self;
}
```

This would be more consistent with the `TryFrom`, which looks like this:
```rust
pub trait TryFrom<T>: Sized {
    type Error;
    fn try_from(value: T) -> Result<Self, Self::Error>;
}
```

The reason for this proposal is twofold:
1. Consistency with the rest of the standard library. The `TryFrom` trait uses `value`, and no `From` implementation uses the default name (as it is quite useless).
2. When generating trait implementations with rust-analyzer/IntelliJ, the parameter name is copied, and it always has to be changed.

Optionally, another name like `x` could be used. I only propose `value` for consistency with `TryFrom`.

Changing parameter names is not a breaking change.
