Basic instruction for new contributors
While answering a few questions to @AB1908, I realized, that our documentation could use some love. Especially the "Getting Started" part for new contributors. So I wrote together some instruction on how to get the toolchain and how to build and test Clippy.

Small fix: `chmod` 644 `clippy_lints/src/utils/ast_utils.rs`
changelog: none
It looks like `clippy_lints/src/utils/ast_utils.rs` doesn't have to be an executable file.
Fix FP for `suspicious_arithmetic_impl` from `suspicious_trait_impl` …
As discussed in #3215, the `suspicious_trait_impl` lint causes too many false positives, as it is complex to find out if binary operations are suspicious or not.
This PR restricts the number of binary operations to at most one, otherwise we don't lint.
This can be seen as very conservative, but at least FP can be reduced to bare minimum.
Fixes: #3215
changelog: limit the `suspicious_arithmetic_impl` lint to one binop, to avoid many FPs
Use `(std::)f64::EPSILON` in the examples as suggested in the lints
`float_cmp(_const)` suggests using `{f32|f64}::EPSILON` and it'd be great if the docs mentioned it.
changelog: none
This commit modifies the `substitute_normalize_and_test_predicates`
query, renaming it to `impossible_predicates` and only checking
predicates which do not require substs. By making this change,
polymorphization doesn't have to explicitly support vtables.

Ignore not really redundant clones of ManuallyDrop
"Redundant" clones of `ManuallyDrop` are sometimes used for the side effect of
invoking the clone, without running the drop implementation of the inner type.
In other words, they aren't really redundant. For example, futures-rs crate:
```rust
#[allow(clippy::redundant_clone)] // The clone here isn't actually redundant.
unsafe fn increase_refcount<T: ArcWake>(data: *const ()) {
// Retain Arc, but don't touch refcount by wrapping in ManuallyDrop
let arc = mem::ManuallyDrop::new(Arc::<T>::from_raw(data as *const T));
// Now increase refcount, but don't drop new refcount either
let _arc_clone: mem::ManuallyDrop<_> = arc.clone();
}
```
changelog: Ignore redundant clone lint for ManuallyDrop.

redundant_closure_call - don't lint when used more than once
Fixes#3354.
changelog: fix redundant_closure_call false positive when closure called more than once
Panic multiple args
changelog: Fixes bug with `panic` lint reported in #5767. I also did the same changes to the lints for `todo`, `unimplemented` and `unreachable`, so those lints should now also detect calls to those macros with a message.
