Add new lint `ptr_cast_constness`
This adds a new lint which functions as the opposite side of the coin to `ptr_as_ptr`. Rather than linting only as casts that don't change constness, this lints only constness; suggesting to use `pointer::cast_const` or `pointer::cast_mut` instead.

needless_else: new lint to check for empty `else` clauses
Empty `else` clauses are useless. They happen in the wild and are not linted yet: https://github.com/uutils/coreutils/pull/4880/files
`else` clauses containing or preceded by comments are not linted as the comments might be important.
changelog: [`needless_else`]: new lint
[`large_stack_arrays`]: check array initializer expressions
Fixes#10741.
Prior to this PR, the lint only checked array repeat expressions (ie. `[T; n]`). Now it also checks array initializer expressions.

Enhance `needless_collect`: lint in method/function arguments that take an `IntoIterator`
Updates `needless_collect` to also lint `collect` calls in method/function arguments that take an `IntoIterator` (for example `Extend::extend`). Every `Iterator` trivially implements `IntoIterator` and collecting it only causes an unnecessary allocation.

* Replace variables inside | patterns in the if let: let v = if let V::A(v) | V::B(v) = v { v } else ...
* Support nested patterns: let v = if let Ok(Ok(Ok(v))) = v { v } else ...
* Support tuple structs with more than one arg: let v = V::W(v, _) = v { v } else ...
* Correctly handle .. in tuple struct patterns: let v = V::X(v, ..) = v { v } else ...
Rename `integer_arithmetic`
The lack of official feedback in #10200 made me give up on pursuing the matter but after yet another use-case that is not handled by `integer_arithmetic` (#10615), I think it is worth trying again.

don't remove `dbg!` in arbitrary expressions
Fixes#9914
The `dbg_macro` lint replaces empty `dbg!` invocations with the empty string in its suggestion, which is not always valid code in certain contexts (e.g. `let _ = dbg!();` becomes `let _ = ;`). This PR changes it to `()`, which should always be valid where `dbg!()` is valid (`dbg!()` with no arguments evaluates to `()`).
It also special-cases "standalone" `dbg!();` expression statements, where it will suggest removing the whole statement entirely like it did before.
changelog: [`dbg_macro`]: don't remove `dbg!()` in arbitrary expressions as it sometimes results in syntax errors
Remove unnecessary `clone` from `needless_collect` example
The example for [clippy::needless_collect](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/#needless_collect) is written as follows:
```rust
let len = iterator.clone().collect::<Vec<_>>().len();
// should be
let len = iterator.count();
```
With this change, the unnecessary `clone()` is removed and the the standard
### Example
```rust
// original
```
Use instead:
```rust
// improved
```
structure is followed.

Fix: Some suggestions generated by the option_if_let_else lint did not compile
This addresses a bug in Clippy where the fix suggestend by the `option_if_let_else` lint would not compile for `Result`s which have an impure expression in the `else` branch.
