Roadmap for 2021
[Rendered](https://github.com/flip1995/rust-clippy/blob/roadmap/doc/roadmap-2021.md)
This is the first time Clippy gets its own roadmap. The reason for this roadmap is, that with the Rust language growing, also Clippy is growing. With this keeping track of and implementing bigger projects gets quite hard. This roadmap should help in exactly this regard.
After having the approval of this roadmap by the Clippy team, we want to know from the community:
- What do you think in general about this roadmap?
- Are there any pain points in Clippy, that should be included here?
- What of the points listed here has the highest priority for you?
We're looking forward to getting your feedback!
changelog: Add roadmap for Clippy 2021

Catch `pointer::cast` too in `cast_ptr_alignment`
Fixes#4708
Although there were some discussion in the issue, this PR implements the original feature. I think `cast_ptr_alignment` should exist as it is, separated from `ptr_as_ptr`.
---
changelog: Extend `cast_ptr_alignment` lint for the `pointer::cast` method
Change env var used for testing Clippy
This changes the variable used for testing Clippy in the internal test
suite:
```
CLIPPY_TESTS -> __CLIPPY_INTERNAL_TESTS
```
`CLIPPY_TESTS` is understandably used in environments of Clippy users,
so we shouldn't use it in our test suite.
changelog: Fix oversight which caused Clippy to lint deps in some environments.
Once again fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/3874
Fix FP for `boxed_local` lint in default trait fn impl
Fix FP on default trait function implementation on `boxed_local` lint.
Maybe I checked too much when looking if `self` is carrying `Self` in its bound type.
I can't find a good test case for this, so it could be too much conservative.
Let me know if you think only detecting `self` parameter is enough.
Fixes: #4804

Fix derive and macro related false positives in `field_reassign_with_default`
Closes#6545
changelog: Fix derive and macro related false positives in [`field_reassign_with_default`]
Tiny Symbol cleanup
* Renames `sym.rs` to `sym_helper.rs` so that the `sym as rustc_sym` is no longer needed.
* Removes one needless `symbol` from a path
changelog: none
Add a new lint `ptr_as_ptr`
This PR adds a new lint `ptr_as_ptr` which checks for `as` casts between raw pointers without changing its mutability and suggest replacing it with `pointer::cast`. Closes#5890.
Open question: should this lint be `pedantic` or `style`? I set it `pedantic` for now because the original post suggests using it, but I think the lint also fits well to `style`.

changelog: New lint `ptr_as_ptr`
Fix: Empty enum never type suggested only if the feature is enabled
This PR addresses [Issue 6422](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/6422). Instead of always recommending `never type` for empty enums, Clippy would only recommend [the lint](https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#empty_enum) if [LatePass.TyCtxt](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/nightly-rustc/rustc_middle/ty/context/struct.TyCtxt.html) has `features().never_type` enabled.
- \[ ] Followed [lint naming conventions][lint_naming]
- \[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`

*Please write a short comment explaining your change (or "none" for internal only changes)*
changelog: Only trigger [`empty_enum`] lint if `never_type` feature is enabled.
Curse outdated test output
changelog: internal
Change `cargo dev bless` to only include test output that was generated since the last build of clippy. This is especially useful when running tests with `TESTNAME=...`. The feature may be disabled by `cargo dev bless --ignore-timestamp`.
New lint: vec_init_then_push
fixes: #1483
This will trigger on `new`, `default`, and `with_capacity` when the given capacity is less than or equal to the number of push calls. Is there anything else this should trigger on?
changelog: Added lint: `vec_init_then_push`
collapsible_if: split collapsible_else_if into its own lint so we can enable/disable it particularly
This splits up clippy::collapsible_if into collapsible_if for
if x {
if y { }
}
=>
if x && y { }
and collapsible_else_if for
if x {
} else {
if y { }
}
=>
if x {
} else if y {
}
so that we can lint for only the latter but not the first if we desire.
changelog: collapsible_if: split up linting for if x {} else { if y {} } into collapsible_else_if lint

if x {

}
so that we can lint for only the latter but not the first if we desire.

Fix blessing of test output in subdirectories
The core issue was the usage of `reference_file_path.file_name()`, which
provided a non-existent path if the file to be updated was in a
subdirectory.
Instead we have to provide the whole path after 'tests/ui/' as the
'filename'. This part of the path is called `test_name` in the code now.
changelog: none
Ensure `Copy` exception in trait definition for `wrong_self_conventio…
Add a test case to ensure `Copy` exception is preserved also in trait definition, when passing `self` by value.
Follow up of #6316
