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(

                                ),

                            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!

/// Warns about needless / redundant type annotations.

/// ### Why is this bad?
/// Code without type annotations is shorter and in most cases

///
/// ### Limitations
/// This lint doesn't support:
///
/// - Generics
/// - Refs returned from anything else than a `MethodCall`
/// - Complex types (tuples, arrays, etc...)
/// - `Path` to anything else than a primitive type.
///
/// ### Example
/// ```rust
/// let foo: String = String::new();
/// ```
/// Use instead:
/// ```rust
/// let foo = String::new();
/// ```
