[arithmetic_side_effects] Cache symbols
An internal-only modification to speed up the processing of symbols because "intern" isn't very cheap, even more when you are doing the same thing for every method expression.

Don't transmute `&List<GenericArg>` <-> `&List<Ty>`
In #93505 we allowed safely transmuting between `&List<GenericArg<'_>>` and `&List<Ty<'_>>`. This was possible because `GenericArg` is a tagged pointer and the tag for types is `0b00`, such that a `GenericArg` with a type inside has the same layout as `Ty`.
While this was meant as an optimization, it doesn't look like it was actually any perf or max-rss win (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/94799#issuecomment-1064340003, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/94841, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/110496#issuecomment-1513799140).
Additionally the way it was done is quite fragile — `unsafe` code was not properly documented or contained in a module, types were not marked as `repr(C)` (making the transmutes possibly unsound). All of this makes the code maintenance harder and blocks other possible optimizations (as an example I've found out about these `transmutes` when my change caused them to sigsegv compiler).
Thus, I think we can safely (pun intended) remove those transmutes, making maintenance easier, optimizations possible, code less cursed, etc.

Add size-parameter to unecessary_box_returns
Fixes#10641
This adds a configuration-knob to the `unecessary_box_returns`-lint which allows _not_ linting a `fn() -> Box<T>` if `T` is "large". The default byte size above which we no longer lint is 128 bytes (due to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/4652#issue-505670554, also used in #9373). The overall rational is given in #10641.

Suggest `std::mem::size_of_val` instead of `std::mem::size_of_value`
This fixes the incorrect suggestion to use `std::mem::size_of_value`. It should be [`std::mem::size_of_val`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/std/mem/fn.size_of_val.html).
changelog: [`manual_slice_size_calculation`]: suggest `std::mem::size_of_val` rather than `std::mem::size_of_value`
Clippy Book Chapter Updates Reborn: Macro Expansions

Book: Improve type checking and lint passes chapters
- Adds the lint passes chapter to the index.
- Moves additional reading material for beginners to the front page of the development section.
- Clarify some details in `hir::Ty` vs `ty::Ty`.
`@blyxyas` I started reviewing the chapters that were already merged. Great work. I liked the additional reading chapter so much, that I moved it front and center. Other than that I only had some minor corrections to make. Please review.

Adds the lint passes chapter to the index.
Moves additional reading material for beginners to the front page of the
development section.
Clarify some details in hir::Ty vs ty::Ty.
This allows allocating `Expr`s into a dropless arena, which is useful
for using length prefixed thing slices in HIR, since these can only be
allocated in the dropless arena and not in a typed arena. This is
something I'm working on.
Clippy Book Chapter Updates Reborn: Lint Passes

resolve: Pre-compute non-reexport module children
Instead of repeating the same logic by walking HIR during metadata encoding.
The only difference is that we are no longer encoding `macro_rules` items, but we never currently need them as a part of this list. They can be encoded separately if this need ever arises.
`module_reexports` is also un-querified, because I don't see any reasons to make it a query, only overhead.
Fix UB in `as_ptr_cast_mut` documentation
changelog: none
Fixes#10628
There's no `String::as_mut_ptr` surprisingly, so the example is actually calling `str::as_mut_ptr` on an empty `str`
