Unused trait imports (formerly anonymous trait import)
For #11969
I'm looking for help and feedback on implementing a new lint for suggesting `use ... as _` for traits where possible.
I have had a go at implementing this but I don't know if this is the best way to do it as I am new to clippy.
There are some edge cases I can think of where this doesn't work but have aired on the side of false negatives instead of false positives.
An example of a false negative. I couldn't figure out the best way to resolve an import from within clippy. The sub module imports MyAny so that cannot be anonymized but `use std::any::Any` could be. In this case it is not caught because `Any` and `MyAny` have the same DefId.
```rust
mod nested_mod_used_bad1 {
use std::any::Any;
use std::any::Any as MyAny;
mod foo {
use crate::nested_mod_used_bad1::MyAny;
fn foo() {
println!("{:?}", MyAny::type_id("foo"));
}
}
}
```
Any feedback is much appreciated.

`needless_pass_by_value` sometimes suggest marking the concerned type as
`Copy`. Adding a `or` before this suggestion makes it clearer that this
is not the second part of the original suggestion, but an alternative one.
Not trigger `duplicated_attributes` on duplicate reasons

Special-case suggestions for null pointers constness cast
This implements the suggestions from #13361. It fits into the existing `ptr_cast_constness` lint, as this is a specialized version. However,
1. I have not modified the lint MSRV, so the documentation for this lint will still show that it applies only from Rust 1.72.0. This is true in the general case, but the lint for null pointers will trigger even before this version as `null()` and `null_mut()` were already present in Rust 1.0 and there is no reason not to apply this lint. I guess this is only a minor documentation issue that can be ignored.
2. I have not covered the `core::ptr::null::<T>().cast_mut()` (could be made into `core::ptr::null_mut::<T>()`) and `cotr::ptr::null_mut::<T>().cast_const()` (could be made into `core::ptr::null::<T>()`) cases. Should they be covered? If they should, here or in a separate PR?

Fix possible typo in `ptr_arg` lint
This fixes a possible typo in the [`ptr_arg`](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#/ptr_arg) lint. I'm new to Rust, so apologies if I misunderstood the meaning of this lint.
