Update CONTRIBUTING.md with changelog guidance
`@xFrednet` I cribbed some text of yours from https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/pull/9743#issuecomment-1295892442 and did some light editing in the hope that others might find it.

changelog: Update CONTRIBUTING.md with changelog guidance
Changelog for Rust 1.65
Roses are red,
violets are blue,
another 6 weeks,
another changelog, yahoo!
This did not rhyme,
luckily, not a crime.
I want to say something smart,
but I am out of time.

Note for the reviewer. This PR is written, as if Rust was already released on 2022-11-03. Please review the changes and approve if you agree, but only merge it after the release. :)

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
```
Improve `needless_lifetimes`
This PR makes the following improvements to `needless_lifetimes`.
* It fixes the following false negative, where `foo` is flagged but `bar` is not:
```rust
fn foo<'a>(x: &'a u8, y: &'_ u8) {}
fn bar<'a>(x: &'a u8, y: &'_ u8, z: &'_ u8) {}
```
* It flags more cases, generally. Previously, `needless_borrow` required *all* lifetimes to be used only once. With the changes, individual lifetimes are flagged for being used only once, even if not all lifetimes are.
* Finally, it tries to produce more clear error messages.
changelog: fix `needless_lifetimes` false negative involving functions with multiple unnamed lifetimes
changelog: in `needless_lifetimes`, flag individual lifetimes used only once, rather than require all lifetimes to be used only once
changelog: in `needless_lifetimes`, emit "replace with `'_`" warnings only when applicable, and point to a generic argument
Add lint for confusing use of `^` instead of `.pow`
fixes#4205
Adds a lint named [`confusing_xor_and_pow`], it warns the user when `a ^ b` is used as the `.pow()` function, it doesn't warn for Hex, Binary... etc.
---
changelog: New lint: [`confusing_xor_and_pow`]
Warn when `clippy::restriction` is enabled via the command line
Currently it catches `#![warn(clippy::restriction)]`, it'll now catch `-W clippy::restriction` from the CLI. Also tweaks the message slightly
changelog: [`blanket_clippy_restriction_lints`]: Warn when `clippy::restriction` is enabled via the command line
Accept `TyCtxt` instead of `TyCtxtAt` in `Ty::is_*` functions
Functions in answer:
- `Ty::is_freeze`
- `Ty::is_sized`
- `Ty::is_unpin`
- `Ty::is_copy_modulo_regions`
This allows to remove a lot of useless `.at(DUMMY_SP)`, making the code a bit nicer :3
r? `@compiler-errors`
spastorino noticed some silly expressions like `item_id.def_id.def_id`.
This commit renames several `def_id: OwnerId` fields as `owner_id`, so
those expressions become `item_id.owner_id.def_id`.
`item_id.owner_id.local_def_id` would be even clearer, but the use of
`def_id` for values of type `LocalDefId` is *very* widespread, so I left
that alone.
privacy: Rename "accessibility levels" to "effective visibilities"
And a couple of other naming and comment tweaks.
Related to https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/48054
For `enum Level` I initially used naming `enum EffectiveVisibilityLevel`, but it was too long and inconvenient because it's used pretty often.
So I shortened it to just `Level`, if it needs to be used from some context where this name would be ambiguous, then it can be imported with renaming like `use rustc_middle::privacy::Level as EffVisLevel` or something.
fix `undocumented-unsafe-blocks` false positive
This fixes#9142 by iterating over the parent nodes as long as within a block, expression, statement, local, const or static.

fix the `string-extend-chars` suggestion on slice
This adds the missing `&` to the suggestion if the target is a `str` slice (e.g. extending with `"foo"[..].chars()`).
This closes#9735.
---
changelog: fix the `string-extend-chars` suggestion for `str` slices
Certain types must be enclosed in angle brackets and must have generic
arguments substituted to create a working suggestion. For example, if
`s` has type `&[u8]`, then `|s| s.len()` may be replaced with
`<[u8]>::len`. Previously, Clippy erroneously suggested `[T]::len`.
