900af2c6d9 lint: default methods must be called on Self to unconditionally recur.
This catches the case when a trait defines a default method that calls
itself, but on a type that isn't necessarily `Self`, e.g. there's no
reason that `T = Self` in the following, so the call isn't necessarily
recursive (`T` may override the call).

    trait Bar {
        fn method<T: Bar>(&self, x: &T) {
            x.method(x)
        }
    }

Fixes #26333.

b1931e48a0 lint: only consider actual calls as unconditional recursion.
Specifically, just mentioning the function name as a value is fine, as
long as it isn't called, e.g. `fn main() { let _ = main; }`.

Closes #21705.

fbef241709 Add a lint to detect unconditional recursion.
E.g. `fn foo() { foo() }`, or, more subtlely

    impl Foo for Box<Foo+'static> {
        fn bar(&self) {
            self.bar();
        }
    }

The compiler will warn and point out the points where recursion occurs,
if it determines that the function cannot return without calling itself.

Closes #17899.
