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:
```

   |                      has type `&'1 isize`

```

Note that Clippy does not currently have the (MIR-based) machinery necessary to check that what is borrowed is actually the closure parameter.
