Hide irrelevant lines in suggestions to allow for suggestions that are far from each other to be shown
This is an attempt to fix suggestions one part of which is 6 lines or more far from the first. I've noticed "the problem" (of not showing some parts of the suggestion) here: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/97759#discussion_r889689230.

Remove migrate borrowck mode
Closes#58781Closes#43234
# Stabilization proposal
This PR proposes the stabilization of `#![feature(nll)]` and the removal of `-Z borrowck`. Current borrow checking behavior of item bodies is currently done by first infering regions *lexically* and reporting any errors during HIR type checking. If there *are* any errors, then MIR borrowck (NLL) never occurs. If there *aren't* any errors, then MIR borrowck happens and any errors there would be reported. This PR removes the lexical region check of item bodies entirely and only uses MIR borrowck. Because MIR borrowck could never *not* be run for a compiled program, this should not break any programs. It does, however, change diagnostics significantly and allows a slightly larger set of programs to compile.
Tracking issue: #43234
RFC: https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/2094-nll.md
Version: 1.63 (2022-06-30 => beta, 2022-08-11 => stable).
## Motivation
Over time, the Rust borrow checker has become "smarter" and thus allowed more programs to compile. There have been three different implementations: AST borrowck, MIR borrowck, and polonius (well, in progress). Additionally, there is the "lexical region resolver", which (roughly) solves the constraints generated through HIR typeck. It is not a full borrow checker, but does emit some errors.
The AST borrowck was the original implementation of the borrow checker and was part of the initially stabilized Rust 1.0. In mid 2017, work began to implement the current MIR borrow checker and that effort ompleted by the end of 2017, for the most part. During 2018, efforts were made to migrate away from the AST borrow checker to the MIR borrow checker - eventually culminating into "migrate" mode - where HIR typeck with lexical region resolving following by MIR borrow checking - being active by default in the 2018 edition.
In early 2019, migrate mode was turned on by default in the 2015 edition as well, but with MIR borrowck errors emitted as warnings. By late 2019, these warnings were upgraded to full errors. This was followed by the complete removal of the AST borrow checker.
In the period since, various errors emitted by the MIR borrow checker have been improved to the point that they are mostly the same or better than those emitted by the lexical region resolver.
While there do remain some degradations in errors (tracked under the [NLL-diagnostics tag](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3ANLL-diagnostics), those are sufficiently small and rare enough that increased flexibility of MIR borrow check-only is now a worthwhile tradeoff.
## What is stabilized
As said previously, this does not fundamentally change the landscape of accepted programs. However, there are a [few](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues?q=is%3Aopen+is%3Aissue+label%3ANLL-fixed-by-NLL) cases where programs can compile under `feature(nll)`, but not otherwise.
There are two notable patterns that are "fixed" by this stabilization. First, the `scoped_threads` feature, which is a continutation of a pre-1.0 API, can sometimes emit a [weird lifetime error](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/95527) without NLL. Second, actually seen in the standard library. In the `Extend` impl for `HashMap`, there is an implied bound of `K: 'a` that is available with NLL on but not without - this is utilized in the impl.
As mentioned before, there are a large number of diagnostic differences. Most of them are better, but some are worse. None are serious or happen often enough to need to block this PR. The biggest change is the loss of error code for a number of lifetime errors in favor of more general "lifetime may not live long enough" error. While this may *seem* bad, the former error codes were just attempts to somewhat-arbitrarily bin together lifetime errors of the same type; however, on paper, they end up being roughly the same with roughly the same kinds of solutions.
## What isn't stabilized
This PR does not completely remove the lexical region resolver. In the future, it may be possible to remove that (while still keeping HIR typeck) or to remove it together with HIR typeck.
## Tests
Many test outputs get updated by this PR. However, there are number of tests specifically geared towards NLL under `src/test/ui/nll`

List configuration values can now be extended instead of replaced
I've seen some `clippy.toml` files, that have a few additions to the default list of a configuration and then a copy of our default. The list will therefore not be updated, when we add new names. This change should make it simple for new users to append values instead of replacing them.
I'm uncertain if the documentation of the `".."` is apparent. Any suggestions are welcome. I've also check that the lint list displays the examples correctly.

Fix `manual_range_contains` false negative with chains of `&&` and `||`
Fixes#8745
Since the precedence for `&&` is the same as itself the HIR for a chain of `&&` ends up with a right skewed tree like:
```
&&
/ \
&& c2
/ \
... c1
```
So only the leftmost `&&` was actually "fully" checked, the top level was just `c2` and `&&` so the `manual_range_contains` lint won't apply. This change makes it also check `c2` with `c1`.
There's a bit of a hacky solution in the [second commit](257f09776a) to check if the number of open/closing parens in the snippet match. This is to prevent a case like `((x % 2 == 0) || (x < 0)) || (x >= 10)` from offering a suggestion like `((x % 2 == 0) || !(0..10).contains(&x)` which now won't compile.
Any suggestions for that paren hack welcome, kinda new to working on this so not too sure about possible solutions :) it's weird because I don't know how else to check for parens in HIR considering they're removed when lowering AST.

Address `unnecessary_to_owned` false positive
My proposed fix for #8759 is to revise the conditions that delineate `redundant_clone` and `unnecessary_to_owned`:
```rust
// Only flag cases satisfying at least one of the following three conditions:
// * the referent and receiver types are distinct
// * the referent/receiver type is a copyable array
// * the method is `Cow::into_owned`
// This restriction is to ensure there is no overlap between `redundant_clone` and this
// lint. It also avoids the following false positive:
// https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/8759
// Arrays are a bit of a corner case. Non-copyable arrays are handled by
// `redundant_clone`, but copyable arrays are not.
```
This change causes a few cases that were previously flagged by `unnecessary_to_owned` to no longer be flagged. But one could argue those cases would be better handled by `redundant_clone`.

Allow inline consts to reference generic params
Tracking issue: #76001
The RFC says that inline consts cannot reference to generic parameters (for now), same as array length expressions. And expresses that it's desirable for it to reference in-scope generics, when array length expressions gain that feature as well.
However it is possible to implement this for inline consts before doing this for all anon consts, because inline consts are only used as values and they won't be used in the type system. So we can have:
```rust
fn foo<T>() {
let x = [4i32; std::mem::size_of::<T>()]; // NOT ALLOWED (for now)
let x = const { std::mem::size_of::<T>() }; // ALLOWED with this PR!
let x = [4i32; const { std::mem::size_of::<T>() }]; // NOT ALLOWED (for now)
}
```
This would make inline consts super useful for compile-time checks and assertions:
```rust
fn assert_zst<T>() {
const { assert!(std::mem::size_of::<T>() == 0) };
}
```
This would create an error during monomorphization when `assert_zst` is instantiated with non-ZST `T`s. A error during mono might sound scary, but this is exactly what a "desugared" inline const would do:
```rust
fn assert_zst<T>() {
struct F<T>(T);
impl<T> F<T> {
const V: () = assert!(std::mem::size_of::<T>() == 0);
}
let _ = F::<T>::V;
}
```
It should also be noted that the current inline const implementation can already reference the type params via type inference, so this resolver-level restriction is not any useful either:
```rust
fn foo<T>() -> usize {
let (_, size): (PhantomData<T>, usize) = const {
const fn my_size_of<T>() -> (PhantomData<T>, usize) {
(PhantomData, std::mem::size_of::<T>())
}
my_size_of()
};
size
}
```
