Add `needless_late_init` lint
examples:
```rust
let a;
a = 1;
// to
let a = 1;
```
```rust
let b;
match 3 {
0 => b = "zero",
1 => b = "one",
_ => b = "many",
}
// to
let b = match 3 {
0 => "zero",
1 => "one",
_ => "many",
};
```
```rust
let c;
if true {
c = 1;
} else {
c = -1;
}
// to
let c = if true {
1
} else {
-1
};
```

Add new lint `octal_escapes`
This checks for sequences in strings that would be octal character
escapes in C, but are not supported in Rust. It suggests either
to use the `\x00` escape, or an equivalent hex escape if the octal
was intended.
Fixes#7981

changelog: Add new lint [`octal_escapes`], which checks for literals like `"\033[0m"`.
Allow `suboptimal_flops` in const functions
This PR allows `clippy::suboptimal_flops` in constant functions. The check also effects the `clippy::imprecise_flops` lint logic. However, this doesn't have any effects as all functions checked for are not const and can therefore not be found in such functions.

changelog: [`suboptimal_flops`]: No longer triggers in constant functions
Closes: rust-lang/rust-clippy#8004
Avoid inline hints with double backticks for `doc-markdown`
The easiest route here was to ensure that the suggestion is always shown on
its own line, where no additional backticks are added by the diagnostic formatter.
Fixes#8002

Pluralize `disallowed_type` lint
This was brought up in [Zulip] and is also mentioned in the lint naming
conventions. Since this is still a nursery lint, I think there shouldn't
be any problem in renaming it.

changelog: Rename nursery lint [`disallowed_type`] to [`disallowed_types`].
Improve `needless_borrow` lint
fixes: #5327fixes: #1726fixes: #1212
This is merging `needless_borrow` into the `dereference` pass in preparation for `explicit_auto_deref`. `explicit_auto_deref` needs to implement most of what `needless_borrow` implements in order to work.
There is a minor regression here where `let x: &str = &x.deref()` will trigger `needless_borrow` without triggering `explicit_deref_methods`. Removing the redundant borrow will cause `explicit_deref_methods` to trigger. This will be fixed when `explicit_auto_deref` is implemented.
changelog: Lint `needless_borrow` when a borrow is auto-derefed more than once
changelog: Lint `needless_borrow` in the trailing expression of a block for a match arm
This function parameter attribute was introduced in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/44866 as an intermediate step in implementing `impl Trait`, it's not necessary or used anywhere by itself.
