Add redundant type annotations lint

Hello, I'm trying to add the `redundat_type_annotations` lint.

It's still WIP but I'd like to start gathering some feedbacks to be sure that I'm not doing things 100% wrong :)

Right now it still misses lints like:

- [x] `let foo: u32 = 5_u32`,
- [x] `let foo: String = STest2::func()`
- [x] `let foo: String = self.func()` (`MethodCall`)
- [x] refs
- [ ] Generics

I've some problems regarding the second example above, in the `init` part of the `Local` I have:

```rust
init: Some(
                Expr {
                    hir_id: HirId(DefId(0:24 ~ playground[e1bd]::main).58),
                    kind: Call(
                        Expr {
                            hir_id: HirId(DefId(0:24 ~ playground[e1bd]::main).59),
                            kind: Path(
                                TypeRelative(
                                    Ty {
                                        hir_id: HirId(DefId(0:24 ~ playground[e1bd]::main).61),
                                        kind: Path(
                                            Resolved(
                                                None,
                                                Path {
                                                    span: src/main.rs:77:21: 77:27 (#0),
                                                    res: Def(

                                                        DefId(0:17 ~ playground[e1bd]::STest2),
                                                    ),
                                                    segments: [
                                                        PathSegment {
                                                            ident: STest2#0,

                                                            res: Def(
                                                                Struct,
                                                                DefId(0:17 ~ playground[e1bd]::STest2),
                                                            ),
                                                            args: None,
                                                            infer_args: true,
                                                        },
                                                    ],
                                                },
                                            ),
                                        ),
                                        span: src/main.rs:77:21: 77:27 (#0),
                                    },
                                    PathSegment {
                                        ident: get_numb#0,
                                        hir_id: HirId(DefId(0:24 ~ playground[e1bd]::main).62),
                                        res: Err,
                                        args: None,
                                        infer_args: true,
                                    },
                                ),
                            ),
                            span: src/main.rs:77:21: 77:37 (#0),
                        },
                        [],
                    ),
                    span: src/main.rs:77:21: 77:39 (#0),
                },
            ),
```

And I'm not sure how to get the return type of the function `STest2::func()` since the resolved path `DefId` points to the struct itself and not the function. Do you have any idea on how I could get this information in this case?

Thanks!
