Add redundant type annotations lint
Hello, I'm trying to add the `redundat_type_annotations` lint.
It's still WIP but I'd like to start gathering some feedbacks to be sure that I'm not doing things 100% wrong :)
Right now it still misses lints like:
- [x] `let foo: u32 = 5_u32`,
- [x] `let foo: String = STest2::func()`
- [x] `let foo: String = self.func()` (`MethodCall`)
- [x] refs
- [ ] Generics
I've some problems regarding the second example above, in the `init` part of the `Local` I have:
```rust
init: Some(
Expr {
hir_id: HirId(DefId(0:24 ~ playground[e1bd]::main).58),
kind: Call(
Expr {
hir_id: HirId(DefId(0:24 ~ playground[e1bd]::main).59),
kind: Path(
TypeRelative(
Ty {
hir_id: HirId(DefId(0:24 ~ playground[e1bd]::main).61),
kind: Path(
Resolved(
None,
Path {
span: src/main.rs:77:21: 77:27 (#0),
res: Def(
Struct,
DefId(0:17 ~ playground[e1bd]::STest2),
),
segments: [
PathSegment {
ident: STest2#0,
hir_id: HirId(DefId(0:24 ~ playground[e1bd]::main).60),
res: Def(
Struct,
DefId(0:17 ~ playground[e1bd]::STest2),
),
args: None,
infer_args: true,
},
],
},
),
),
span: src/main.rs:77:21: 77:27 (#0),
},
PathSegment {
ident: get_numb#0,
hir_id: HirId(DefId(0:24 ~ playground[e1bd]::main).62),
res: Err,
args: None,
infer_args: true,
},
),
),
span: src/main.rs:77:21: 77:37 (#0),
},
[],
),
span: src/main.rs:77:21: 77:39 (#0),
},
),
```
And I'm not sure how to get the return type of the function `STest2::func()` since the resolved path `DefId` points to the struct itself and not the function. Do you have any idea on how I could get this information in this case?
Thanks!

Bring up Rust lang #37612 as a known problem for let_and_return
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/4182.
I don't think conforming to this lint could trigger the issue immediately, only if subsequent code-changes go wrong, but I may be mistaken.
Since the lint can't trigger it by itself, just closing this issue might be reasonable, if not maybe this PR fixes it.

[`unnecessary_lazy_eval`]: don't lint on types with deref impl
Fixes#10437.
This PR changes clippy's util module `eager_or_lazy` to also consider deref expressions whose type has a non-builtin deref impl and not suggest replacing it as that might have observable side effects.
A prominent example might be the `lazy_static` macro, which creates a newtype with a `Deref` impl that you need to go through to get access to the inner value. Going from lazy to eager can make a difference there.

[`allow_attributes`, `allow_attributes_without_reason`]: Ignore attributes from procedural macros
I use `lint_reasons` and `clap`, which is a bit overzealous when it comes to preventing warnings in its macros; it uses a ton of allow attributes on everything to, as ironic as it is, silence warnings. These two now ignore anything from procedural macros.
PS, I think `allow_attributes.rs` should be merged with `attrs.rs` in the future.

Ignore fix for `from_over_into` if the target type contains a `Self` reference
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/10838.
This is my first time contributing here, and the fix is kind of ugly.
I've worked a bit with `quote` and was trying to figure out a way to replace the type in a better way than just a raw string-replace but couldn't quite figure out how to.
The only thing really required to fix this, is to replace all `Self` references with the type stated in the `from` variable, this isn't entirely simple to do with raw strings without creating a mess though.
We need to find and replace all `Self`'s in a variable with `from` but there could be an arbitrary amount, in a lot of different positions. As well as some type that contains the name self, like `SelfVarSelf` which shouldn't be replaced.
The strategy is essentially, if `"Self"` is surrounded on both sides by something that isn't alphanumeric, then we're golden, then trying to make that reasonably efficient.
I would not be offended if the solution is too messy to accept!

new lint: `explicit_into_iter_fn_arg`
Closes#10743.
This adds a lint that looks for `.into_iter()` calls in a call expression to a function that already expects an `IntoIterator`. In those cases, explicitly calling `.into_iter()` is unnecessary.
There were a few instances of this in clippy itself so I fixed those as well in this PR.

manual_let_else: support struct patterns
This adds upon the improvements of #10797 and:
* Only prints `()` around `Or` patterns at the top level (fixing a regression of #10797)
* Supports multi-binding patterns: `let (u, v) = if let (Some(u_i), Ok(v_i)) = ex { (u_i, v_i) } else ...`
* Traverses through tuple patterns: `let v = if let (Some(v), None) = ex { v } else ...`
* Supports struct patterns: `let v = if let S { v, w, } = ex { (v, w) } else ...`
```

Clippy Book Chapter Updates Reborn: Refresh Lint Configuration's looks
This PR modernizes and clears up some confusion with the "Lint Configuration Options" chapter from the book.
### Changes
- **Remove 'Option - Default Value" table**
- Why was it even there?
- It shouldn't be the first thing an user sees when they enter the chapter. It's clunky, ugly and not useful. The default values for configs are stated in a per-config basis if needed.
- **Add a simple description of what the chapter contains, and the scheme of each configuration option**
- **Minor formatting, mainly adding code fragments to code text**
- It seemed weird and jarring not having back-ticks on text like "arithmetic_side_effects".
- Improves readability and separation between configs.
- **Separate a little bit the Affected Lints list + "Affected lists" message**
- Not having something indicating that the list is about the lints that use the configuration option is confusing.
- It isn't as important as the description and example. Therefore should be separated a little bit imo
---
This is an independent effort from #10597, but as it's still a Book Chapter Update, I thought it would be cool to include it here. I'm going to keep the reviewing process for this PR to rustbot's desires.
