New Lint: [thread_local_initializer_can_be_made_const]

Adds a new lint to suggest using `const` on `thread_local!`
initializers that can be evaluated at compile time.

Impl details:

The lint relies on the expansion of `thread_local!`. For non
const-labelled initializers, `thread_local!` produces a function
called `__init` that lazily initializes the value. We check the function
and decide whether the body can be const. The body of the function is
exactly the initializer. If so, we lint the body.

+    /// ### Why is this bad?

+    /// The `thread_local!` macro wraps static declarations and makes them thread-local.
+    /// It supports using a `const` keyword that may be used for declarations that can
+    /// be evaluated as a constant expression. This can enable a more efficient thread
+    /// local implementation that can avoid lazy initialization. For types that do not
+    /// need to be dropped, this can enable an even more efficient implementation that
+    /// does not need to track any additional state.
