Use assoc int and float consts instead of module level ones
changelog: Recommend primitive type associated constants instead of module level constants
In Rust 1.43 integer and float primitive types will have a number of new associated constants. For example `MAX`, `MIN` and a number of constants related to the machine representation of floats. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/68952
These new constants are preferred over the module level constants in `{core,std}::{f*, u*, i*}`. I have in the last few days made sure that the documentation in the main rust repository uses the new constants in every place I could find (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/69860, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/70782). So the next step is naturally to make the linter recommend the new constants as well.
This PR only changes two lints. There are more. But I did not want the PR to be too big. And since I have not contributed to clippy before it felt saner to start with a small PR so I see if there are any quirks. More will come later.
rustup: update for the new Ty::walk interface.
The first commit fixes a portability bug in `setup-toolchain.sh`, while the second rewrites the handling of "trait impl methods" in `use_self` - even if `Ty::walk` could've still been used, it was IMO a misuse.
This could also serve as a PSA: *please* use `hir_ty_to_ty` instead of trying to compare `hir::Ty`s between themselves or against semantic `Ty`s. Its "quasi-deprecation" is 3 years old and doesn't really mean anything, just that it's currently uncached and that we should eventually querify it (either for a single HIR node, or for all of the nodes in an entire definition).

Improve docs for option_option
Hint about using tri-state enums to replace legitimate uses of `Option<Option<_>>`
changelog: The docs for `option_option` now suggest using a tri-state enum
useless Rc<Rc<T>>, Rc<Box<T>>, Rc<&T>, Box<&T>
refers to #2394
changelog: Add lints for Rc<Rc<T>> and Rc<Box<T>> and Rc<&T>, Box<&T>
this is based on top of another change #5310 so probably should go after that one.
Downgrade option_option to pedantic
Based on a search of my work codebase (\>500k lines) for `Option<Option<`, it looks like a bunch of reasonable uses to me. The documented motivation for this lint is:
> an optional optional value is logically the same thing as an optional value but has an unneeded extra level of wrapping
which seems a bit bogus in practice. For example a typical usage would look like:
```rust
let mut host: Option<String> = None;
let mut port: Option<i32> = None;
let mut payload: Option<Option<String>> = None;
for each field {
match field.name {
"host" => host = Some(...),
"port" => port = Some(...),
"payload" => payload = Some(...), // can be null or string
_ => return error,
}
}
let host = host.ok_or(...)?;
let port = port.ok_or(...)?;
let payload = payload.ok_or(...)?;
do_thing(host, port, payload)
```
This lint seems to fit right in with the pedantic group; I don't think linting on occurrences of `Option<Option<T>>` by default is justified.

changelog: Remove option_option from default set of enabled lints
Stop updating the lint counter with every new lint
r? @Manishearth
This PR does two things:
1. Clean up the clippy_dev module a bit (first 3 commits; cc #5394 )
2. Make the counter in the README count in steps of 50 lints. Also use a `lazy_static` `Vec` for the lint list, so no counter is required there anymore.

Lint unnamed address comparisons
Functions and vtables have an insignificant address. Attempts to compare such addresses will lead to very surprising behaviour. For example: addresses of different functions could compare equal; two trait object pointers representing the same object and the same type could be unequal.
Lint against unnamed address comparisons to avoid issues like those in rust-lang/rust#69757 and rust-lang/rust#54685.
changelog: New lints: [`fn_address_comparisons`] [#5294](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/pull/5294), [`vtable_address_comparisons`] [#5294](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/pull/5294)
