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.

Stabilize some Result methods as const
Stabilize the following methods of Result as const:
- `is_ok`
- `is_err`
- `as_ref`
A test is also included, analogous to the test for `const_option`.
These methods are currently const under the unstable feature `const_result` (tracking issue: #67520).
I believe these methods to be eligible for stabilization because of the stabilization of #49146 (Allow if and match in constants) and the trivial implementations, see also: [PR#75463](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/75463) and [PR#76135](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/76135).
Note: these methods are the only methods currently under the `const_result` feature, thus this PR results in the removal of the feature.
Related: #76225
Update the test `redundant_pattern_matching`: check if `is_ok` and `is_err` are suggested within const contexts.
Also removes the `redundant_pattern_matching_const_result` test, as it is no longer needed.
Change the criteria of `interior_mutable_const`
This implements my suggestion [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/5050#issuecomment-680310889), and so hopefully fixes#5050.
* stop linting associated types and generic type parameters
* start linting ones in trait impls
whose corresponding definitions in the traits are generic
* remove the `is_copy` check
as presumably the only purpose of it is to allow
generics with `Copy` bounds as `Freeze` is internal
and generics are no longer linted
* remove the term 'copy' from the tests
as being `Copy` no longer have meaning

changelog: Change the criteria of `declare_interior_mutable_const` and `borrow_interior_mutable_const` to narrow the lints to only lint things that defenitly is a interior mutable type, not potentially.

Treat refs to arrays the same as owned arrays in `indexing_slicing` and `out_of_bounds_indexing`
Fixes#6021
...and remove `walk_ptrs_ty` in favour of `peel_refs`, which came in 2019.

changelog: Fix a false positive in `indexing_slicing` and `out_of_bounds_indexing` where references to arrays weren't treated as arrays.
option_if_let_else - distinguish pure from impure else expressions
Addresses partially #5821.
changelog: improve the lint `option_if_let_else`. Suggest `map_or` or `map_or_else` based on the else expression purity.
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!
