Fix missing_docs_in_private_items false negative
changelog: Fix [`missing_docs_in_private_items`] false negative when the item has any `#[name = "value"]` attribute
Closes#7247 (decided not to use the rustc method since it calls `Session::check_name`, which is for rustc only)
Fix allow on some statement lints
changelog: Fix `#[allow(..)]` over statements for [`needless_collect`], [`short_circuit_statement`] and [`unnecessary_operation`]

Adding the ability to invalidate caches to force metadata collection
This adds the discussed hack to touch `clippy_lints/src/lib.rs` to invalidate cargos cache and force metadata collection. I've decided to use the [`filetime`](https://github.com/alexcrichton/filetime) crate instead of the touch command to make is cross-platform and just cleaner in general. Looking at the maintainers I would say that it's a save crate to use xD.

Fix invalid syntax in `from_iter_instead_of_collect` suggestion
First attempt at contributing, hopefully this is a good start and can be improved. :)
fixes#7259
changelog: [`from_iter_instead_of_collect`] fix invalid suggestion involving "as Trait"
Don't lint `multiple_inherent_impl` with generic arguments
fixes: #5772
changelog: Treat different generic arguments as different types in `multiple_inherent_impl`
Remove powi, "square can be computed more efficiently"
powi(2) produces exactly the same native code as x * x
powi was part of the [`suboptimal_flops`] lint

changelog: Remove powi [`suboptimal_flops`], "square can be computed more efficiently"
Add `needless_bitwise_bool` lint
fixes#6827fixes#1594
changelog: Add ``[`needless_bitwise_bool`]`` lint
Creates a new `bitwise_bool` lint to convert `x & y` to `x && y` when both `x` and `y` are booleans. I also had to adjust thh `needless_bool` lint slightly, and fix a couple failing dogfood tests. I made it a correctness lint as per flip1995's comment [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/pull/3385#issuecomment-434715723), from a previous WIP attempt at this lint.
Fix FPs about generic args
Fix 2 false positives in [`use_self`] and [`useless_conversion`] lints, by taking into account generic args and comparing them.

New lint: `unused_async`
changelog: Adds a lint, `unused_async`, which checks for async functions with no await statements
`unused_async` is a lint that reduces code smell and overhead by encouraging async functions to be refactored into synchronous functions.
Fixes#7176
### Examples
```rust
async fn get_random_number() -> i64 {
4 // Chosen by fair dice roll. Guaranteed to be random.
}
```
Could be written as:
```rust
fn get_random_number() -> i64 {
4 // Chosen by fair dice roll. Guaranteed to be random.
}
```
Something like this, however, should **not** be caught by clippy:
```rust
#[async_trait]
trait AsyncTrait {
async fn foo();
}
struct Bar;
#[async_trait]
impl AsyncTrait for Bar {
async fn foo() {
println!("bar");
}
}
```
Stop linting `else if let` pattern in [`option_if_let_else`] lint
For readability concerns, it is counterproductive to lint `else if let` pattern.
Unfortunately the suggested code is much less readable.
Fixes: #7006
changelog: stop linting `else if let` pattern in [`option_if_let_else`] lint
Add `cargo collect-metadata` as an cargo alias for the metadata collection lint
This PR adds a new alias to run the metadata collection monster on `clippy_lints`. I'm currently using it to create the `metadata_collection.json` file and I plan to use it in the `deply.sh` script. Having it as a new alias enables us to simply use:
```sh
cargo collect-metadata
```
It sometimes requires running `cargo clean` before collecting the metadata due to caching. I'm still debating if I should include a cargo clean as part of the `run_metadata_collection_lint` test or not. Input on this would be greatly appreciated 🙃
That's it, just a small change that can be reviewed and merged in parallel to #7214.

See: #7172 for the full metadata collection to-do list or to suggest a new feature in connection to it.
