Add some explanations for #[must_use]
`#[must_use]` can be given a string argument which is shown whilst warning for things.
We should add a string argument to most of the user-exposed ones.
I added these for everything but the operators, mostly because I'm not sure what to write there or if we need anything there.
Add more logarithm constants
Right now, we have `ln(2)` and `ln(10)`, but only `log2(e)` and `log10(e)`. This also adds `log2(10)` and `log10(2)` for consistency.
Optimize string handling in lit_token().
In the common case, the string value in a string literal Token is the
same as the string value in a string literal LitKind. (The exception is
when escapes or \r are involved.) This patch takes advantage of that to
avoid calling str_lit() and re-interning the string in that case. This
speeds up incremental builds for a few of the rustc-benchmarks, the best
by 3%.

idiom lints for removing `extern crate`
Based off of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/49789
This contains two lints:
- One that suggests replacing pub extern crates with pub use, and removing non-pub extern crates entirely
- One that suggests rewriting `use modulename::...::cratename::foo` as `cratename::foo`
The latter is a bit tricky to emit suggestions for; for one this involves splicing spans (never a good idea), and it also won't be able to correctly
handle `use module::{cratename, foo}` and use-trees. I'm not sure how to proceed here. Currently it doesn't suggest anything at all.
Perhaps we can go the other way and suggest removal of all extern crates _except_ those used through modules (stash node ids somewhere) and suggest replacing those with `<visibility> use`?
