do not apply DerefMut on union field This implements the part of [RFC 2514](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/2514-union-initialization-and-drop.md) about `DerefMut`. Unlike described in the RFC, we only apply this warning specifically when doing `DerefMut` of a `ManuallyDrop` field; that is really the case we are worried about here. @matthewjasper suggested I patch `convert_place_derefs_to_mutable` and `convert_place_op_to_mutable` for this, but I could not find anything to do in `convert_place_op_to_mutable` and this is sufficient to make the test pass. However, maybe there are some other cases this misses? I have no familiarity with this code. This is a breaking change *in theory*, if someone used `ManuallyDrop<T>` in a union field and relied on automatic `DerefMut`. But on stable this means `T: Copy`, so the `ManuallyDrop` is rather pointless. Cc https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/55149 |
