Auto merge of #6401 - ebroto:pin_to_a_nightly, r=ebroto

📌 Pin Clippy to a nightly 📌

changelog: Pin Clippy to a specific nightly version (No more master/custom toolchain required to compile Clippy)

Addresses partially #5561. As proposed there in [this comment](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/5561#issuecomment-623109095), this kicks off the process, to help us get acquainted with how the syncs should work, before working on improving the tooling.

Open questions:
* When performing a rustup, we will need to exclude the commits that were merged that same day, or else wait until that nightly is released. I did not update the documentation about this part, mainly because I'm not sure about how to do that.
* When should we perform the rustups now? My first idea is to do it at the same time we do the clippyups, to have a clear cadence and to avoid the two copies of the repo to diverge enough to make the process painful.
* Who does the rustups now? If we follow my previous idea and do both rustup and clippyup at the same time, it would be more work for `@flip1995` who currently does the clippyups. I would prefer to establish some kind of rotation to spead the work. Other ideas?
* I'm not sure if this affects the release process in any way.
* ???

`@rust-lang/clippy` thoughts?

## Fixing build failures caused by Rust
## Syncing changes between Clippy and [`rust-lang/rust`]
Clippy currently gets built with `rustc` of the `rust-lang/rust` `master`
branch. Most of the times we have to adapt to the changes and only very rarely
there's an actual bug in Rust.
Clippy currently gets built with a pinned nightly version.
If you decide to make Clippy work again with a Rust commit that breaks it, you
have to sync the `rust-lang/rust-clippy` repository with the `subtree` copy of
Clippy in the `rust-lang/rust` repository.
In the `rust-lang/rust` repository, where rustc resides, there's a copy of Clippy
that compiler hackers modify from time to time to adapt to changes in the unstable
API of the compiler.
For general information about `subtree`s in the Rust repository see [Rust's
`CONTRIBUTING.md`][subtree].
We need to sync these changes back to this repository periodically, and the changes
made to this repository in the meantime also need to be synced to the `rust-lang/rust` repository.
To avoid flooding the `rust-lang/rust` PR queue, this two-way sync process is done
in a bi-weekly basis if there's no urgent changes. This is done starting on the day of
the Rust stable release and then every other week. That way we guarantee that we keep
this repo up to date with the latest compiler API, and every feature in Clippy is available
for 2 weeks in nightly, before it can get to beta. For reference, the first sync
following this cadence was performed the 2020-08-27.
This process is described in detail in the following sections. For general information
about `subtree`s in the Rust repository see [Rust's `CONTRIBUTING.md`][subtree].

## Setup
Next we need to setup the toolchain to compile Clippy. Since Clippy heavily
relies on compiler internals it is build with the latest rustc master. To get
this toolchain, you can just use the `setup-toolchain.sh` script or use
`rustup-toolchain-install-master`:
```bash
bash setup-toolchain.sh
# OR
cargo install rustup-toolchain-install-master
# For better IDE integration also add `-c rustfmt -c rust-src` (optional)
rustup-toolchain-install-master -f -n master -c rustc-dev -c llvm-tools
rustup override set master
```
_Note:_ Sometimes you may get compiler errors when building Clippy, even if you
didn't change anything. Normally those will be fixed by a maintainer in a few hours.
## Building and Testing
Once the `master` toolchain is installed, you can build and test Clippy like
every other Rust project:
