Add `rc_buffer` lint for checking Rc<String> and friends
Fixes#2623
This is a bit different from the original PR attempting to implement this type of lint. Rather than linting against converting into the unwanted types, this PR lints against declaring the unwanted type in a struct or function definition.
I'm reasonably happy with what I have here, although I used the fully qualified type names for the Path and OsString suggestions, and I'm not sure if I should have just used the short versions instead, even if they might not have been declared via use.
Also, I don't know if "buffer type" is the best way to put it or not. Alternatively I could call it a "growable type" or "growable buffer type", but I was thinking of PathBuf when I started making the lint.
changelog: Add `rc_buffer` lint
Add map_err_ignore lint
In a large code base a lot of times errors are ignored by using something like:
```rust
foo.map_err(|_| Some::Enum)?;
```
This drops the original error in favor of a enum that will not have the original error's context. This lint helps catch throwing away the original error in favor of an enum without its context.

changelog: Added map_err_ignore lint
Add a new lint, `manual-strip`, that suggests using the `str::strip_prefix`
and `str::strip_suffix` methods introduced in Rust 1.45 when the same
functionality is performed 'manually'.
Closes#5734
Add lint panic in result
### Change
Adding a new "restriction" lint that will emit a warning when using "panic", "unimplemented" or "unreachable" in a function of type option/result.
### Motivation
Some codebases must avoid crashes at all costs, and hence functions of type option/result must return an error instead of crashing.
### Test plan
Running:
TESTNAME=panic_in_result cargo uitest ---
changelog: none
This catches bugs of the form
tokio::spawn(async move {
let f = some_async_thing();
f // Oh no I forgot to await f so that work will never complete.
});
Warn about assignments where left-hand side place expression is the same
as right-hand side value expression. For example, warn about assignment in:
```rust
pub struct Event {
id: usize,
x: i32,
y: i32,
}
pub fn copy_position(a: &mut Event, b: &Event) {
a.x = b.x;
a.y = a.y;
}
```
This lint catches cases where the last statement of a closure expecting
an instance of Ord has a trailing semi-colon. It compiles since the
closure ends up return () which also implements Ord but causes
unexpected results in cases such as sort_by_key.

reprise: rebase, update and address all concerns
New lint: iter_next_slice
Hello, this is a work-in-progress PR for issue: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/5572
I have implemented lint to replace `iter().next()` for `slice[index..]` and `array` with `get(index)` and `get(0)` respectively. However since I made a lot of changes, I would like to request some feedback before continuing so that I could fix mistakes.
Thank you!

changelog: implement `iter_next_slice` lint and test, and modify `needless_continues`, `for_loop_over_options_result` UI tests since they have `iter().next()`
New lint: `match_wildcard_for_single_variants`
changelog: Added a new lint match_wildcard_for_single_variants to warn on enum matches where a wildcard is used to match a single variant
Closes#5556
Rename lint `identity_conversion` to `useless_conversion`
Lint name `identity_conversion` was misleading, so this PR renames it to `useless_conversion`.
As decision has not really came up in the issue comments, this PR will probably need discussion.
fixes#3106
changelog: Rename lint `identity_conversion` to `useless_conversion`
New lint `match_vec_item`
Added new lint to warn a match on index item which can panic. It's always better to use `get(..)` instead.
Closes#5500
changelog: New lint `match_on_vec_items`
Fixes#4226
This introduces the lint await_holding_lock. For async functions, we iterate
over all types in generator_interior_types and look for types named MutexGuard,
RwLockReadGuard, or RwLockWriteGuard. If we find one then we emit a lint.
If let else mutex
changelog: Adds lint to catch incorrect use of `Mutex::lock` in `if let` expressions with lock calls in any of the blocks.
closes: #5219
