Needless continue: This is a complete rewrite of this lint as an early-pass lint.

The previous version had troubles computing suggestions without macro expansions
creeping in. This fixes it by using original_sp, which works on AST nodes.

//! Checks for continue statements in loops that are redundant.
//!
//! For example, the lint would catch
//!
//! ```
//! while condition() {
//! update_condition();
//! if x {
//! // ...
//! } else {
//! continue;
//! }
//! println!("Hello, world");
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! And suggest something like this:
//!
//! ```
//! while condition() {
//! update_condition();
//! if x {
//! // ...
//! println!("Hello, world");
//! }
//! }
//! ```
//!
//! This lint is **warn** by default.

/// **What it does:** The lint checks for `if`-statements appearing in loops
/// that contain a `continue` statement in either their main blocks or their
/// `else`-blocks, when omitting the `else`-block possibly with some
/// rearrangement of code can make the code easier to understand.
///
/// **Why is this bad?** Having explicit `else` blocks for `if` statements
/// containing `continue` in their THEN branch adds unnecessary branching and
/// nesting to the code. Having an else block containing just `continue` can
/// also be better written by grouping the statements following the whole `if`
/// statement within the THEN block and omitting the else block completely.
///
/// **Known problems:** None
///
/// **Example:**
/// ```rust
/// while condition() {
/// update_condition();
/// if x {
/// // ...
/// } else {
/// continue;
/// }
/// println!("Hello, world");
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Could be rewritten as
///
/// ```rust
/// while condition() {
/// update_condition();
/// if x {
/// // ...
/// println!("Hello, world");
/// }
/// }
/// ```
///
/// As another example, the following code
///
/// ```rust
/// loop {
/// if waiting() {
/// continue;
/// } else {
/// // Do something useful
/// }
/// }
/// ```
/// Could be rewritten as

/// loop {
/// if waiting() {
