New lint: Recommend using `ptr::eq` when possible
This is based almost entirely on the code available in the previous PR #4596. I merely updated the code to make it compile.
Fixes#3661.
- [ ] I'm not sure about the lint name, but it was the one used in the original PR.
- [X] Added passing UI tests (including committed `.stderr` file)
- [X] `cargo test` passes locally
- [X] Executed `cargo dev update_lints`
- [X] Added lint documentation
- [X] Run `cargo dev fmt`

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:

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;
}
```
