New lints: `impossible_comparisons` and `redundant_comparisons`
Inspired by a bug we had in production, like all good lints ;)
Adds two lints for "double" comparisons, specifically when the same expression is being compared against two different constants.
`impossible_comparisons` checks for expressions that can never be true at all. Example:
```rust
status_code <= 400 && status_code > 500
```
Presumably, the programmer intended to write `status_code >= 400 && status_code < 500` in this case.
`redundant_comparisons` checks for expressions where either half has no effect. Example:
```rust
status_code <= 400 && status_code < 500
```
Works with other literal types like floats and strings, and *some* cases where the constant is more complex than a literal, see the tests for more.
**Limitations and/or future work:**
* Doesn't work if the LHS can have side-effects at all, for example by being a function call
* Only works for exactly two comparison expressions, so `x > y && x > z && x < w` won't get checked
* Doesn't check for comparison expressions combined with `||`. Very similar logic could be applied there.

Add documentation to has_deref
Documentation of `has_deref` needed some polish to be more clear about where it should be used and what's it's purpose.

Improve spans for indexing expressions
fixes#114388
Indexing is similar to method calls in having an arbitrary left-hand-side and then something on the right, which is the main part of the expression. Method calls already have a span for that right part, but indexing does not. This means that long method chains that use indexing have really bad spans, especially when the indexing panics and that span in coverted into a panic location.
This does the same thing as method calls for the AST and HIR, storing an extra span which is then put into the `fn_span` field in THIR.

Lots of tiny incremental simplifications of `EmitterWriter` internals
ignore the first commit, it's https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/114088 squashed and rebased, but it's needed to use to use `derive_setters`, as they need a newer `syn` version.
Then this PR starts out with removing many arguments that are almost always defaulted to `None` or `false` and replace them with builder methods that can set these fields in the few cases that want to set them.
After that it's one commit after the other that removes or merges things until everything becomes some very simple trait objects

Perform OpaqueCast field projection on HIR, too.
fixes#105819
This is necessary for closure captures in 2021 edition, as they capture individual fields, not the full mentioned variables. So it may try to capture a field of an opaque (because the hidden type is known to be something with a field).
See https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/99806 for when and why we added OpaqueCast to MIR.
Add `internal_features` lint
Implements https://github.com/rust-lang/compiler-team/issues/596
Also requires some more test blessing for codegen tests etc
`@jyn514` had the idea of just `allow`ing the lint by default in the test suite. I'm not sure whether this is a good idea, but it's definitely one worth considering. Additional input encouraged.
Fix `suspicious_xor_used_as_pow.rs` performance
The original `suspicious_xor_used_as_pow` lint had poor performance, so I fixed that + a little refactor so that module is readable.
**107 millis. -> 106 millis.** Using `SPEEDTEST` on Rust's VMs
fix#11060
changelog: [`suspicious_xor_used_as_pow`]: Improve performance by 0.934%
Expand, rename and improve `incorrect_fn_null_checks` lint
This PR,
- firstly, expand the lint by now linting on references
- secondly, it renames the lint `incorrect_fn_null_checks` -> `useless_ptr_null_checks`
- and thirdly it improves the lint by catching `ptr::from_mut`, `ptr::from_ref`, as well as `<*mut _>::cast` and `<*const _>::cast_mut`

It lints against features that are inteded to be internal to the
compiler and standard library. Implements MCP #596.
We allow `internal_features` in the standard library and compiler as those
use many features and this _is_ the standard library from the "internal to the compiler and
standard library" after all.
Marking some features as internal wasn't exactly the most scientific approach, I just marked some
mostly obvious features. While there is a categorization in the macro,
it's not very well upheld (should probably be fixed in another PR).
We always pass `-Ainternal_features` in the testsuite
About 400 UI tests and several other tests use internal features.
Instead of throwing the attribute on each one, just always allow them.
There's nothing wrong with testing internal features^^
New lint `ignored_unit_patterns`
This idea comes from #11238. I've put the lint in `pedantic` as it might trigger numerous positives (three in Clippy itself).
