Expands `manual_memcpy` to lint ones with loop counters
Closes#1670
This PR expands `manual_memcpy` to lint ones with loop counters as described in https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/1670#issuecomment-293280204
Although the current code is working, I have a couple of questions and concerns.
~~Firstly, I manually implemented `Clone` for `Sugg` because `AssocOp` lacks `Clone`. As `AssocOp` only holds an enum, which is `Copy`, as a value, it seems `AssocOp` can be `Clone`; but, I was not sure where to ask it. Should I make a PR to `rustc`?~~ The [PR]( https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/73629) was made.
Secondly, manual copying with loop counters are likely to trigger `needless_range_loop` and `explicit_counter_loop` along with `manual_memcpy`; in fact, I explicitly allowed them in the tests. Is there any way to disable these two lints when a code triggers `manual_memcpy`?
And, another thing I'd like to note is that `Sugg` adds unnecessary parentheses when expressions with parentheses passed to its `hir` function, as seen here:
```
error: it looks like you're manually copying between slices
--> $DIR/manual_memcpy.rs:145:14
|
LL | for i in 3..(3 + src.len()) {
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ help: try replacing the loop by: `dst[3..((3 + src.len()))].clone_from_slice(&src[..((3 + src.len()) - 3)])
```
However, using the `hir` function is needed to prevent the suggestion causing errors when users use bitwise operations; and also this have already existed, for example: `verbose_bit_mask`. Thus, I think this is fine.

Preserve raw strs for: format!(s) to s.to_string() lint
fixes#6142
clippy::useless_format will keep the source's string (after converting {{ and }} to { and }) when suggesting a change from format!() to .to_string() usage. Ie:
| let s = format!(r#""hello {{}}""#);
| ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ help: consider using `.to_string()`: `r#""hello {}""#.to_string()`
changelog: [`useless_format`]: preserve raw string literals when no arguments to `format!()` are provided.
New lint: Recommend using `ptr::eq` when possible
This is based almost entirely on the code available in the previous PR #4596. I merely updated the code to make it compile.
Fixes#3661.

clippy_lints: Do not warn against Box parameter in C FFI
changelog: [`boxed_local`]: don't lint in `extern fn` arguments
Fixes#5542.
When using C FFI, to handle pointers in parameters it is needed to
declare them as `Box` in its Rust-side signature. However, the current
linter warns against the usage of Box stating that "local variable
doesn't need to be boxed here".
This commit fixes it by ignoring functions whose Abi is C.
unnecessary sort by: avoid dereferencing the suggested closure parameter
This change tries to simplify the solution for problematic cases but is less restrictive than #6006.
* We can't dereference shared references to non-Copy types, so the new suggestion does not do that. Note that this implies that the suggested closure parameter will be a reference.
* We can't take a reference to the closure parameter in the returned key, so we don't lint in those cases. This can happen either because the key borrows from the parameter (e.g. `|a| a.borrows()`), or because we suggest `|a| Reverse(a)`. If we did we would hit this error:
```
error: lifetime may not live long enough

19 | vec.sort_by_key(|b| Reverse(b));

```
Note that Clippy does not currently have the (MIR-based) machinery necessary to check that what is borrowed is actually the closure parameter.
