Don't use `hir_ty_to_ty` in `result_large_err`
fixes#9414
This occurs starting with 2022-09-01. I checked that this does fix the ICE on rust-lang/rust@9353538. Not sure which pr caused the late-bound region to leak through `hir_ty_to_ty`.

Fix `suboptimal_float` not linting on `{const}.powf({const})`
There used to be an early return if the receiver was an effective const but the method was not linted, not taking into account later cases where the receiver and the arguments are both effective consts for different methods. Removed the early return.

Fix the emission order of `trait_duplication_in_bounds`
Makes the lint emit in source order rather than whatever order the hash map happens to be in. This is currently blocking the sync into rustc.

Strengthen invalid_value lint to forbid uninit primitives, adjust docs to say that's UB
For context: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/66151#issuecomment-1174477404=
This does not make it a FCW, but it does explicitly state in the docs that uninit integers are UB.
This also doesn't affect any runtime behavior, uninit u32's will still successfully be created through mem::uninitialized.
Initial implementation `result_large_err`
This is a shot at #6560, #4652, and #3884. The lint checks for `Result` being returned from functions/methods where the `Err` variant is larger than a configurable threshold (the default of which is 128 bytes). There has been some discussion around this, which I'll try to quickly summarize:
* A large `Err`-variant may force an equally large `Result` if `Err` is actually bigger than `Ok`.
* There is a cost involved in large `Result`, as LLVM may choose to `memcpy` them around above a certain size.
* We usually expect the `Err` variant to be seldomly used, but pay the cost every time.
* `Result` returned from library code has a high chance of bubbling up the call stack, getting stuffed into `MyLibError { IoError(std::io::Error), ParseError(parselib::Error), ...}`, exacerbating the problem.
This PR deliberately does not take into account comparing the `Ok` to the `Err` variant (e.g. a ratio, or one being larger than the other). Rather we choose an absolute threshold for `Err`'s size, above which we warn. The reason for this is that `Err`s probably get `map_err`'ed further up the call stack, and we can't draw conclusions from the ratio at the point where the `Result` is returned. A relative threshold would also be less predictable, while not accounting for the cost of LLVM being forced to generate less efficient code if the `Err`-variant is _large_ in absolute terms.
We lint private functions as well as public functions, as the perf-cost applies to in-crate code as well.
In order to account for type-parameters, I conjured up `fn approx_ty_size`. The function relies on `LateContext::layout_of` to compute the actual size, and in case of failure (e.g. due to generics) tries to come up with an "at least size". In the latter case, the size of obviously wrong, but the inspected size certainly can't be smaller than that. Please give the approach a heavy dose of review, as I'm not actually familiar with the type-system at all (read: I have no idea what I'm doing).
The approach does, however flimsy it is, allow us to successfully lint situations like
```rust
pub union UnionError<T: Copy> {
_maybe: T,
_or_perhaps_even: (T, [u8; 512]),
}
// We know `UnionError<T>` will be at least 512 bytes, no matter what `T` is
pub fn param_large_union<T: Copy>() -> Result<(), UnionError<T>> {
Ok(())
}
```
I've given some refactoring to `functions/result_unit_err.rs` to re-use some bits. This is also the groundwork for #6409
The default threshold is 128 because of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/4652#issue-505670554
`lintcheck` does not trigger this lint for a threshold of 128. It does warn for 64, though.
The suggestion currently is the following, which is just a placeholder for discussion to be had. I did have the computed size in a `span_label`. However, that might cause both ui-tests here and lints elsewhere to become flaky wrt to their output (as the size is platform dependent).
```

Fix missing parens in `suboptimal_flops` suggestion
Fixes#9391. The problem is simple enough, I didn't check if the same problem occurs elsewhere, though.

New lint: Raw slice pointer cast
Adds a lint to check for a raw slice being created and cast back to a pointer, suggesting `ptr::slice_from_raw_parts`, to identify UB such as https://github.com/SimonSapin/rust-typed-arena/pull/54.

Don't lint literal `None` from expansion
This addresses https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/pull/9288#issuecomment-1229398524: If the literal `None` is from expansion, we never lint. This is correct because e.g. replacing the call to `option_env!` with whatever that macro expanded to at the time of linting is certainly wrong.

Ignore `match_like_matches_macro` when there is comment
Closes#9164

Also add `span_contains_comment` util to check if given span contains comments.
Implemented `suspicious_to_owned` lint to check if `to_owned` is called on a `Cow`
changelog: Add lint ``[`suspicious_to_owned`]``
-----------------
Hi,
posting this unsolicited PR as I've been burned by this issue :)
Being unsolicited, feel free to reject it or reassign a different lint level etc.
This lint checks whether `to_owned` is called on `Cow<'_, _>`. This is done because `to_owned` is very similarly named to `into_owned`, but the effect of calling those two methods is completely different (one makes the `Cow::Borrowed` into a `Cow::Owned`, the other just clones the `Cow`). If the cow is then passed to code for which the type is not checked (e.g. generics, closures, etc.) it might slip through and if the cow data is coming from an unsafe context there is the potential for accidentally cause undefined behavior.
Even if not falling into this painful case, there's really no reason to call `to_owned` on a `Cow` other than confusing people reading the code: either `into_owned` or `clone` should be called.
Note that this overlaps perfectly with `implicit_clone` as a warning, but `implicit_clone` is classified pedantic (while the consequences for `Cow` might be of a wider blast radius than just pedantry); given the overlap, I set-up the lint so that if `suspicious_to_owned` triggers `implicit_clone` will not trigger. I'm not 100% sure this is done in the correct way (I tried to copy what other lints were doing) so please provide feedback on it if it isn't.

Don't lint `needless_return` if `return` has attrs
Fixes#9361
The lint used to have a mechanic to allow `cfg`-attrs on naked `return`-statements. This was well-intentioned, yet we can have any kind of attribute, e.g. `allow`, `expect` or even custom `derive`. So the mechanic was simply removed. We now never lint on a naked `return`-statement that has attributes on it.
Turns out that the ui-test had a Catch22 in it: In `check_expect()` the `#[expect(clippy::needless_return)]` is an attribute on the `return` statement that can and will be rustfixed away without side effects. But any other attribute would also have been removed, which is what #9361 is about. The test proved the wrong thing. Removed the test, the body is tested elsewhere as well.
changelog: Ignore [`needless_return`] on `return`s with attrs
This is done because `to_owned` is very similarly named to `into_owned`, but the
effect of calling those two methods is completely different. This creates
confusion (stemming from the ambiguity of the 'owned' term in the context of
`Cow`s) and might not be what the writer intended.
