Rollup merge of #125156 - zachs18:for_loops_over_fallibles_behind_refs, r=Nilstrieb
Expand `for_loops_over_fallibles` lint to lint on fallibles behind references.

Extends the scope of the (warn-by-default) lint `for_loops_over_fallibles` from just `for _ in x` where `x: Option<_>/Result<_, _>` to also cover `x: &(mut) Option<_>/Result<_>`

```rs
fn main() {
    // Current lints
    for _ in Some(42) {}
    for _ in Ok::<_, i32>(42) {}

    // New lints
    for _ in &Some(42) {}
    for _ in &mut Some(42) {}
    for _ in &Ok::<_, i32>(42) {}
    for _ in &mut Ok::<_, i32>(42) {}

    // Should not lint
    for _ in Some(42).into_iter() {}
    for _ in Some(42).iter() {}
    for _ in Some(42).iter_mut() {}
    for _ in Ok::<_, i32>(42).into_iter() {}
    for _ in Ok::<_, i32>(42).iter() {}
    for _ in Ok::<_, i32>(42).iter_mut() {}
}
```

Question:

* ~~Currently, the article `an` is used for `&Option`, and `&mut Option` in the lint diagnostic, since that's what `Option` uses. Is this okay or should it be changed? (likewise, `a` is used for `&Result` and `&mut Result`)~~ The article `a` is used for `&Option`, `&mut Option`, `&Result`, `&mut Result` and (as before) `Result`. Only `Option` uses `an` (as before).
