Remove powi, "square can be computed more efficiently"
powi(2) produces exactly the same native code as x * x
powi was part of the [`suboptimal_flops`] lint

Add `needless_bitwise_bool` lint
fixes#6827fixes#1594
changelog: Add ``[`needless_bitwise_bool`]`` lint
Creates a new `bitwise_bool` lint to convert `x & y` to `x && y` when both `x` and `y` are booleans. I also had to adjust thh `needless_bool` lint slightly, and fix a couple failing dogfood tests. I made it a correctness lint as per flip1995's comment [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/pull/3385#issuecomment-434715723), from a previous WIP attempt at this lint.
Fix FPs about generic args
Fix 2 false positives in [`use_self`] and [`useless_conversion`] lints, by taking into account generic args and comparing them.

New lint: `unused_async`
changelog: Adds a lint, `unused_async`, which checks for async functions with no await statements
`unused_async` is a lint that reduces code smell and overhead by encouraging async functions to be refactored into synchronous functions.
Fixes#7176
### Examples
```rust
async fn get_random_number() -> i64 {
4 // Chosen by fair dice roll. Guaranteed to be random.
}
```
Could be written as:
```rust
fn get_random_number() -> i64 {
4 // Chosen by fair dice roll. Guaranteed to be random.
}
```
Something like this, however, should **not** be caught by clippy:
```rust
#[async_trait]
trait AsyncTrait {
async fn foo();
}
struct Bar;
#[async_trait]
impl AsyncTrait for Bar {
async fn foo() {
println!("bar");
}
}
```
Stop linting `else if let` pattern in [`option_if_let_else`] lint
For readability concerns, it is counterproductive to lint `else if let` pattern.
Unfortunately the suggested code is much less readable.
Fixes: #7006

Metadata collection monster searching for Clippy's configuration options
This PR teaches our lovely metadata collection monster which configurations are available inside Clippy. It then adds a new *Configuration* section to the lint documentation.
---
The implementation uses the `define_Conf!` macro to create a vector of metadata during compilation. This enables easy collection and parsing without the need of searching for the struct during a lint-pass (and it's quite elegant IMO). The information is then parsed into an intermediate struct called `ClippyConfiguration` which will be saved inside the `MetadataCollector` struct itself. It is currently only used to generate the *Configuration* section in the lint documentation, but I'm thinking about adding an overview of available configurations to the website. Saving them in this intermediate state without formatting them right away enables this in the future.
The new parsing will also allow us to have a documentation that spans over multiple lines in the future. For example, this will be valid when the old script has been removed:
```rust
/// Lint: BLACKLISTED_NAME.
/// The list of blacklisted names to lint about. NB: `bar` is not here since it has legitimate uses
(blacklisted_names: Vec<String> = ["foo", "baz", "quux"].iter().map(ToString::to_string).collect())
```
The deprecation reason is also currently being collected but not used any further and that's basically it.

cc `@camsteffen` It would be great if you could also review this PR as you have recently worked on Clippy's `define_Conf!` macro.
Add `cargo collect-metadata` as an cargo alias for the metadata collection lint
This PR adds a new alias to run the metadata collection monster on `clippy_lints`. I'm currently using it to create the `metadata_collection.json` file and I plan to use it in the `deply.sh` script. Having it as a new alias enables us to simply use:
```sh
cargo collect-metadata
```
It sometimes requires running `cargo clean` before collecting the metadata due to caching. I'm still debating if I should include a cargo clean as part of the `run_metadata_collection_lint` test or not. Input on this would be greatly appreciated 🙃
That's it, just a small change that can be reviewed and merged in parallel to #7214.

match_single_binding: Fix invalid suggestion when match scrutinee has side effects
fixes#7094
changelog: `match_single_binding`: Fix invalid suggestion when match scrutinee has side effects
---
`Expr::can_have_side_effects` is used to determine the scrutinee has side effects, while this method is a little bit conservative for our use case. But I'd like to use it to avoid reimplementation of the method and too much heuristics. If you think this is problematic, then I'll implement a custom visitor to address it.
`while_let_on_iterator` Improvements
fixes: #6491fixes: #6231fixes: #5844fixes: #1924fixes: #1033
The check for whether a field can be borrowed should probably be moved to utils at some point, but it would require some cleanup work and knowing what parts can actually be shared.

Metadata collection monster eating deprecated lints
This adds the collection of deprecated lints to the metadata collection monster. The JSON output has the same structure with the *new* lint group "DEPRECATED". Here is one of fourteen examples it was able to dig up in Clippy's code:
```JSON

},

Move `inconsistent_struct_constructor` to pedantic
The whole point of named fields is that we don't have to worry about
order. The names, not the position, communicate the information, so
worrying about consistency for consistency's sake is pedantic to a *T*.
Cf. #7192.

~~cc `@Jarcho` Since tomorrow is release day and we need to get this also fixed in beta, I'll just revert the PR instead of looking into the root issue.
