Adrian Taylor b27817c8c6 Arbitrary self types v2: Weak, NonNull hints
Various types can be used as method receivers, such as Rc<>, Box<> and
Arc<>. The arbitrary self types v2 work allows further types to be made
method receivers by implementing the Receiver trait.

With that in mind, it may come as a surprise to people when certain
common types do not implement Receiver and thus cannot be used as a
method receiver.

The RFC for arbitrary self types v2 therefore proposes emitting specific
lint hints for these cases:
* NonNull
* Weak
* Raw pointers

The code already emits a hint for this third case, in that it advises
folks that the `arbitrary_self_types_pointers` feature may meet their
need. This PR adds diagnostic hints for the Weak and NonNull cases.
