Lint for invisible Unicode characters other than ZWSP
This PR extends the existing `zero_width_space` lint to look for other invisible characters as well (in this case, `\\u{ad}` soft hyphen.
I feel like this lint is the logical place to add the check, but I also realize the lint name is not particularly flexible, but I also understand that it shouldn't be renamed for compatibility reasons.
Open questions:
- What other characters should trigger the lint?
- What should be done with the lint name?
- How to indicate the change in functionality?
Motivation behind this PR: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/77417 - I managed to shoot myself in the foot by an invisible character pasted into my test case.
changelog: rename [`zero_width_space`] to [`invisible_characters`] and add SHY and WJ to the list.
Add option to pass a custom codegen backend from a driver
This allows the driver to pass information to the codegen backend. For example the headcrab debugger may in the future want to use cg_clif to JIT code to be injected in the debuggee. This would PR make it possible to tell cg_clif which symbol can be found at which address and to tell it to inject the JITed code into the right process.
This PR may also help with https://github.com/rust-lang/miri/pull/1540 by allowing miri to provide a codegen backend that only emits metadata and doesn't perform any codegen.

Add `rc_buffer` lint for checking Rc<String> and friends
Fixes#2623
This is a bit different from the original PR attempting to implement this type of lint. Rather than linting against converting into the unwanted types, this PR lints against declaring the unwanted type in a struct or function definition.
I'm reasonably happy with what I have here, although I used the fully qualified type names for the Path and OsString suggestions, and I'm not sure if I should have just used the short versions instead, even if they might not have been declared via use.
Also, I don't know if "buffer type" is the best way to put it or not. Alternatively I could call it a "growable type" or "growable buffer type", but I was thinking of PathBuf when I started making the lint.
changelog: Add `rc_buffer` lint
Extend invalid_atomic_ordering for compare_exchange{,_weak} and fetch_update
changelog: The invalid_atomic_ordering lint can now detect misuse of `compare_exchange`, `compare_exchange_weak`, and `fetch_update`.
---
I was surprised not to find an issue or existing support here, since these are the functions which are always hardest to get the ordering right on for me (as the allowed orderings for `fail` depend on the `success` parameter).
I believe this lint now covers all atomic methods which care about their ordering now, but I could be wrong.
Hopefully I didn't forget to do anything for the PR!
Add map_err_ignore lint
In a large code base a lot of times errors are ignored by using something like:
```rust
foo.map_err(|_| Some::Enum)?;
```
This drops the original error in favor of a enum that will not have the original error's context. This lint helps catch throwing away the original error in favor of an enum without its context.

changelog: Added map_err_ignore lint
Add a new lint, `manual-strip`, that suggests using the `str::strip_prefix`
and `str::strip_suffix` methods introduced in Rust 1.45 when the same
functionality is performed 'manually'.
Closes#5734
Add lint panic in result
### Change
Adding a new "restriction" lint that will emit a warning when using "panic", "unimplemented" or "unreachable" in a function of type option/result.
### Motivation
Some codebases must avoid crashes at all costs, and hence functions of type option/result must return an error instead of crashing.
### Test plan
Running:
TESTNAME=panic_in_result cargo uitest ---
changelog: none
This catches bugs of the form
tokio::spawn(async move {
let f = some_async_thing();
f // Oh no I forgot to await f so that work will never complete.
});
Warn about assignments where left-hand side place expression is the same
as right-hand side value expression. For example, warn about assignment in:
```rust
pub struct Event {
id: usize,
x: i32,
y: i32,
}
pub fn copy_position(a: &mut Event, b: &Event) {
a.x = b.x;
a.y = a.y;
}
```
