If you've been using `./util/dev` before, this now becomes `cargo dev`.
The key part of this change is found in `.cargo/config`.
This means one less shell script and a bit more cross-platform support
for contributors.
This adds a check to `clippy_dev` that enforces a maximum line count for
`stderr` files. CI will fail if the line count is exceeded. It's
currently set to `320` lines.
Ideally this would be implemented in `compiletest-rs` but there are
plans to move Rust's `compiletest` into the `compiletest-rs` repository
and I don't want to do the work in `compiletest` twice. However, I also
don't want to wait until the move is done, so I added the check to
`clippy_dev` until it makes sense to add it to compiletest-rs.

Add lint writing documentation
[Rendered](https://github.com/phansch/rust-clippy/blob/adding_lints/doc/adding_lints.md)
This adds a new documentation page that explains how to write Clippy
lints. It guides the reader through creating a `foo` function lint.
I plan to iterate a bit more on the prose of some sections, but I think the
general structure is fine now, so I'm looking forward to feedback =)
One thing I'm not sure about: I felt like this is too big for CONTRIBUTING.md
so I put it into a new `doc/` directory. I can imagine having more
documentation in the future, so we might even want to create a book using
mdbook instead? Or should everything go into CONTRIBUTING.md?
Further things left to do:
- [x] Link from CONTRIBUTING.md
- [x] Remove things covered in this guide from CONTRIBUTING.md
- [x] Section about `clippy::author` attribute
- [x] Run `remark-lint` on CI over the `doc` directory and fix things
Start making clippy easier to invoke in non-cargo contexts
Clippy (clippy-driver) currently has a couple of strong but unnecessary couplings with cargo. This series:
1. makes detection of check builds more robust, and
2. make clippy-driver use the --sysroot specified on the command line as its internal sysroot.
