rustc_driver: factor out computing the exit code
In a recent Miri PR I [added a convenience wrapper](https://github.com/rust-lang/miri/pull/1405/files#diff-c3d602c5c8035a16699ce9c015bfeceaR125) around `catch_fatal_errors` and `run_compiler` that @oli-obk suggested I could upstream. However, after seeing what could be shared between `rustc_driver::main`, clippy and Miri, really the only thing I found is computing the exit code -- so that's what this PR does.
What prevents using the Miri convenience function in `rustc_driver::main` and clippy is that they do extra work inside `catch_fatal_errors`, and while I could abstract that away, clippy actually *computes the callbacks* inside there, and I fond no good way to abstract that and thus gave up. Maybe the clippy thing could be moved out, I am not sure if it ever can actually raise a `FatalErrorMarker` -- someone more knowledgeable in clippy would have to do that.
Downgrade useless_let_if_seq to nursery
I feel that this lint has the wrong balance of incorrect suggestions for a default-enabled lint.
The immediate code I faced was something like:
```rust
fn main() {
let mut good = do1();
if !do2() {
good = false;
}
if good {
println!("good");
}
}
fn do1() -> bool { println!("1"); false }
fn do2() -> bool { println!("2"); false }
```
On this code Clippy calls it unidiomatic and suggests the following diff, which has different behavior in a way that I don't necessarily want.
```diff
- let mut good = do1();
- if !do2() {
- good = false;
- }
+ let good = if !do2() {
+ false
+ } else {
+ do1()
+ };
```
On exploring issues filed about this lint, I have found that other users have also struggled with inappropriate suggestions (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/4124, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/3043, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/2918, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/2176) and suggestions that make the code worse (https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/3769, https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/2749). Overall I believe that this lint is still at nursery quality for now and should not be enabled.

changelog: Remove useless_let_if_seq from default set of enabled lints
Reversed empty ranges
This lint checks range expressions with inverted limits which result in empty ranges. This includes also the ranges used to index slices.
The lint reverse_range_loop was covering iteration of reversed ranges in a for loop, which is a subset of what this new lint covers, so it has been removed. I'm not sure if that's the best choice. It would be doable to check in the new lint that we are not in the arguments of a for loop; I went for removing it because the logic was too similar to keep them separated.
changelog: Added reversed_empty_ranges lint that checks for ranges where the limits have been inverted, resulting in empty ranges. Removed reverse_range_loop which was covering a subset of the new lint.

Allow `use super::*;` glob imports
changelog: Allow super::* glob imports
fixes#5554fixes#5569
A first pass at #5554 - this allows all `use super::*` to pass, which may or may not be desirable. The original issue was around allowing test modules to import their entire parent modules - I'm happy to modify this to do that instead, may just need some guidance on how to implement that (I played around a bit with #[cfg(test)] but from what I can gather, clippy itself isn't in test mode when running, even if the code in question is being checked for the test target).
