Fix LitKind's byte buffer to use refcounted slice
While working on adding a new lint for clippy (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/pull/6044) for avoiding shared ownership of "mutable buffer" types (such as using `Rc<Vec<T>>` instead of `Rc<[T]>`), I noticed a type exported from rustc_ast and used by clippy gets caught by the lint. This PR fixes the exported type.
This PR includes the actual change to clippy too, but I will open a PR directly against clippy for that part (although it will currently fail to build there).
unnecessary sort by: avoid dereferencing the suggested closure parameter
This change tries to simplify the solution for problematic cases but is less restrictive than #6006.
* We can't dereference shared references to non-Copy types, so the new suggestion does not do that. Note that this implies that the suggested closure parameter will be a reference.
* We can't take a reference to the closure parameter in the returned key, so we don't lint in those cases. This can happen either because the key borrows from the parameter (e.g. `|a| a.borrows()`), or because we suggest `|a| Reverse(a)`. If we did we would hit this error:
```
error: lifetime may not live long enough

19 | vec.sort_by_key(|b| Reverse(b));

| ||
| |return type of closure is Reverse<&'2 isize>
| has type `&'1 isize`
error: aborting due to previous error
```
Note that Clippy does not currently have the (MIR-based) machinery necessary to check that what is borrowed is actually the closure parameter.

Do not lint float fractions in `mistyped_literal_suffixes`
As suggested in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/4706#issuecomment-544797928, the fractional part is now ignored (the integer part is checked instead).
Fixes: #4706
changelog: `mistyped_literal_suffixes` no longer warns on the fractional part of a float (e.g. 713.23_64)
Lint for invisible Unicode characters other than ZWSP
This PR extends the existing `zero_width_space` lint to look for other invisible characters as well (in this case, `\\u{ad}` soft hyphen.
I feel like this lint is the logical place to add the check, but I also realize the lint name is not particularly flexible, but I also understand that it shouldn't be renamed for compatibility reasons.
Open questions:
- What other characters should trigger the lint?
- What should be done with the lint name?
- How to indicate the change in functionality?
Motivation behind this PR: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/77417 - I managed to shoot myself in the foot by an invisible character pasted into my test case.
changelog: rename [`zero_width_space`] to [`invisible_characters`] and add SHY and WJ to the list.
Downgrade interior_mutable_const lints to warn by default
This change updates the two lints in the file non_copy_const.rs to be warn by default rather than deny by default. It also updates the known problems for declare_interior_mutable_const to mention some issues that are affected by the lints.
This is a repeat pull request since I botched the first one (#6012). Apart from my messing up the commits of that one, I also had a problem where the stderr of the tests didn't change despite me changing both lints to warn by default. Is this normal behaviour for some lints or do I need to adjust the tests to accommodate the change?
