Port clippy away from compiletest to ui_test
Reasons to do this:
* runs completely on stable Rust
* is easier to extend with new features
* has its own dogfood test suite, so changes can be tested in [the `ui_test` repo](https://github.com/oli-obk/ui_test)
* supports dependencies from crates.io without having to manually fiddle with command line flags
* supports `ui-cargo`, `ui`, `ui-toml` out of the box, no need to find and run the tests ourselves
One thing that is a big difference to `compiletest` is that if a test emits *any* error, you need to mark all of them with `//~ ERROR:` annotations. Since many clippy tests did not have annotations, I changed many lints to be `warn` in their test so that only the `stderr` output is tested.
TODO:
* [ ] check that this still works as a subtree in the rustc repo

Note: at present the latest changes needed for clippy are only available as a git dependency, but I expect to publish a new crates.io version soon
Clippy Book Chapter Updates Reborn: Refresh Lint Configuration's looks
This PR modernizes and clears up some confusion with the "Lint Configuration Options" chapter from the book.
### Changes
- **Remove 'Option - Default Value" table**
- Why was it even there?
- It shouldn't be the first thing an user sees when they enter the chapter. It's clunky, ugly and not useful. The default values for configs are stated in a per-config basis if needed.
- **Add a simple description of what the chapter contains, and the scheme of each configuration option**
- **Minor formatting, mainly adding code fragments to code text**
- It seemed weird and jarring not having back-ticks on text like "arithmetic_side_effects".
- Improves readability and separation between configs.
- **Separate a little bit the Affected Lints list + "Affected lists" message**
- Not having something indicating that the list is about the lints that use the configuration option is confusing.
- It isn't as important as the description and example. Therefore should be separated a little bit imo

This is an independent effort from #10597, but as it's still a Book Chapter Update, I thought it would be cool to include it here. I'm going to keep the reviewing process for this PR to rustbot's desires.

Add configuration for `semicolon_block` lints
Does exactly what it says on the tin, suggests moving a block's final semicolon inside if it's multiline and outside if it's singleline.
I don't really like how this is implemented so I'm not too sure if this is ready yet. Alas, it might be ok.

Document that `cargo clippy --fix` implies `--all-targets`
In [`cargo fix`'s documentation](https://doc.rust-lang.org/cargo/commands/cargo-fix.html) they indicate that `fix` implies `--all-targets` if no target is supplied. As Clippy uses Cargo under the hood, this also applies to Clippy, but we didn't document that behaviour.
This PR changes that
Fixes#10690
changelog: Add to documentation that `--fix` implies `--all-targets`
Add size-parameter to unecessary_box_returns
Fixes#10641
This adds a configuration-knob to the `unecessary_box_returns`-lint which allows _not_ linting a `fn() -> Box<T>` if `T` is "large". The default byte size above which we no longer lint is 128 bytes (due to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/4652#issue-505670554, also used in #9373). The overall rational is given in #10641.

changelog: Enhancement: [`unnecessary_box_returns`]: Added new lint configuration `unnecessary-box-size` to set the maximum size of `T` in `Box<T>` to be linted

Clippy Book Chapter Updates Reborn: Lint Passes
This PR adds a new chapter to the book: "Lint passes". No major changes apart from some re-phrasing, fixing typos... etc.
## Notes
- Requires #10595 to be merged before this one (Or else, a link will be broken).

Links to README.md files must actually be links to index.md files,
because of the inner workings of `mdbook`.
Also use the latest mdbook version in CI.
Clippy Book Chapter Updates Reborn: Type Checking
This PR adds a new chapter to the book: "Type Checking", it hasn't changed a lot from the source mainly because there wasn't many reviews on it and I haven't see a lot of things that needed a change.
## Notes
- I have some doubts about the whole "`is_*` Usage" section, what do you think about it.
- For discussion about the whole project, please use the tracking issue for the project #10597 (It also contains a timeline, discussions, and more information)
changelog: Add a new "Type Checking" chapter to the book

Document `cargo-clippy` feature
It is possible to use conditional compilation to prevent Clippy from evaluating certain code at all. Unfortunately, it was no longer documented anywhere. This adds a brief explanation of how to use the feature with conditional compilation, and mentions a few downsides.
