Cleanup `rustc_tool_util` and add a convenient macro for `build.rs`
changelog: none
<!-- changelog_checked -->
If possible, I'd like to have a new release for this, maybe `v0.3.0` to use the changes in another project. Then we can also remove the `path = "./rustc_tools_util"` from `Cargo.toml`. I'd be happy to help with the release on crates.io if you'd like the help :)

improve `filesearch::get_or_default_sysroot`
`fn get_or_default_sysroot` is now improved and used in `miri` and `clippy`, and tests are still passing as they should. So we no longer need to implement custom workarounds/hacks to find sysroot in tools like miri/clippy.
Resolves https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/98832
re-opened from #103581
Track where diagnostics were created.
This implements the `-Ztrack-diagnostics` flag, which uses `#[track_caller]` to track where diagnostics are created. It is meant as a debugging tool much like `-Ztreat-err-as-bug`.
For example, the following code...
```rust
struct A;
struct B;
fn main(){
let _: A = B;
}
```
...now emits the following error message:
```
error[E0308]: mismatched types
--> src\main.rs:5:16
|
5 | let _: A = B;
| - ^ expected struct `A`, found struct `B`
| |
| expected due to this
-Ztrack-diagnostics: created at compiler\rustc_infer\src\infer\error_reporting\mod.rs:2275:31
```
Causes cargo to re-run clippy when those paths are modified
Also tracks the path to `clippy-driver` in debug mode to remove the
workarounds in `cargo dev lint` and `lintcheck`
Add `unused_format_specs` lint
Currently catches two cases:
An empty precision specifier:
```rust
// the same as {}
println!("{:.}", x);
```
And using formatting specs on `format_args!()`:
```rust
// prints `x.`, not `x .`
println("{:5}.", format_args!("x"));
```

Add `manual_filter` lint for `Option`
Share much of its implementation with `manual_map` and should greatly benefit from its previous feedback.
I'm sure it's possible to even more refactor both and would gladly take input on that as well as any clippy idiomatic usage, since this is my first lint addition.
I've added the lint to the complexity section for now, I don't know if every new lint needs to go in nursery first.
The matching could be expanded to more than `Some(<value>)` to lint on arbitrary struct matching inside the `Some` but I've left it like it was for `manual_map` for now. `needless_match::pat_same_as_expr` provides a more generic match example.

changelog: Add lint [`manual_filter`] for `Option`
This lint detects calls to a `&self`-taking `as_ptr` method, where
the result is then immediately cast to a `*mut T`. Code like this
is probably invalid, as that pointer will not have write permissions,
and `*mut T` is usually used to write through.
add `box-default` lint
This adds a `box-default` lint to suggest using `Box::default()` instead of `Box::new(Default::default())`, which offers less moving parts and potentially better performance according to [the perf book](https://nnethercote.github.io/perf-book/standard-library-types.html#box).

changelog: add [`box_default`] lint
Implement https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/8368 - a new
lint to inline format arguments such as `print!("{}", var)` into
`print!("{var}")`.

---|---|---
`print!("{0}={1}", var, 1+2)` | `print!("{var}={0}", 1+2)` | Format
string uses an indexed argument that cannot be inlined. Supporting this
case requires re-indexing of the format string.
