Add size_of_ref lint
This addresses #9995, which is likely raising a valid point about `std::mem::size_of_val()`: It's [very easy to use double-references as the argument](https://github.com/apache/arrow-datafusion/pull/4371#discussion_r1032385224), which the function will happily accept and give back the size of _the reference_, not the size of the value _behind_ the reference. In the worst case, if the value matches the programmer's expectation, this seems to work, while in fact, everything will go horribly wrong e.g. on a different platform.
The size of a `&T` is independent of what `T` is, and people might want to use `std::mem::size_of_val()` to actually get the size of _any_ reference (e.g. via `&&()`). I would rather suggest that this is always bad behavior, though ([instead](https://doc.rust-lang.org/reference/type-layout.html#pointers-and-references-layout), [and](https://doc.rust-lang.org/stable/std/primitive.usize.html#associatedconstant.BITS)). I, therefore, put this lint into `correctness`.
Since the problem is usually easily fixed by removing extra `&`, I went light on suggesting code.

feat: lint unchecked subtraction of a 'Duration' from an 'Instant'
Hello all, I tried to tackle the open issue #9371 and this is what I came up with.
I have a difficulty currently - some tests are failing:
```
failures:
[ui] ui/manual_instant_elapsed.rs
```
The `manual_instant_elapsed` is failing because of `Instant::now() - duration` test, this now gets also picked by `unchecked_duration_subtraction` lint.
What is the correct way to proceed in this case? Simply update the `.stderr` file for `manual_instant_elapsed` lint?
changelog: [`unchecked_duration_subtraction`]: Add lint for unchecked subtraction of a `Duration` from an `Instant`.

Add `manual_is_ascii_check` lint
Addresses https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/9290
This PR adds new lint `manual_is_ascii_check`, which detects comparison with ascii ranges using `matches!` macros.
As I mentioned as following in the Issue;
> Yes, that's true. we'll start small and then grow it.
> So I'll try to handle matches! macro with single range as suggested above.
However during writing first version, I was thinking that the changes to support alphabetic and digits will be small patch, so I made a single PR in hope review cost can be reduced.

Roses are red,
violets are blue,
another 6 weeks,
another changelog, yahoo!
This did not rhyme,
luckily, not a crime.
I want to say something smart,
but I am out of time.

Add `unused_format_specs` lint
Currently catches two cases:
An empty precision specifier:
```rust
// the same as {}
println!("{:.}", x);
```
And using formatting specs on `format_args!()`:
```rust
// prints `x.`, not `x .`
println("{:5}.", format_args!("x"));
```
