Lint for invisible Unicode characters other than ZWSP
This PR extends the existing `zero_width_space` lint to look for other invisible characters as well (in this case, `\\u{ad}` soft hyphen.
I feel like this lint is the logical place to add the check, but I also realize the lint name is not particularly flexible, but I also understand that it shouldn't be renamed for compatibility reasons.
Open questions:
- What other characters should trigger the lint?
- What should be done with the lint name?
- How to indicate the change in functionality?
Motivation behind this PR: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/77417 - I managed to shoot myself in the foot by an invisible character pasted into my test case.
changelog: rename [`zero_width_space`] to [`invisible_characters`] and add SHY and WJ to the list.
Don't emit a lint for the suggestion leading to errors in `needless_range_loop`

New Lint: disallowed_method
Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/6073
I added a `disallowed_method` lint that works similar to `blacklisted_name`, e.g allows config-defined disallowed method calls.
This lint allows advanced users to patch in undesired method calls for specific projects. It basically uses the DefId of method calls and matches it to parsed strings. Is there an alternative approach that could use more easily digestible configuration strings?
All tests pass as expected except for a linting error on `ui/redundant_pattern_matching_option`, which I am not sure how to resolve since I don't think I changed anything affecting it.

Fix FP in `print_stdout`
Fix#6041
This lint shouldn't be emitted in `build.rs` as `println!` and `print!` are used for the build script.

Allow a unique name to be assigned to dataflow graphviz output
Previously, if the same analysis were invoked multiple times in a single compilation session, the graphviz output for later runs would overwrite that of previous runs. Allow callers to add a unique identifier to each run so this can be avoided.
Revert: or_fun_call should lint calls to `const fn`s with no args
The changes in #5889 and #5984 were done under the incorrect assumption that a `const fn` with no args was guaranteed to be evaluated at compile time. A `const fn` is only guaranteed to be evaluated at compile time if it's inside a const context (the initializer of a `const` or a `static`).
See this [zulip conversation](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/122651-general/topic/Common.20misconception.3A.20.60const.20fn.60.20and.20its.20effect.20on.20codegen/near/208059113) for more details on this common misconception.
Given that none of the linted methods by `or_fun_call` can be called in const contexts, the lint should make no exceptions.

Fix a FP in `explicit_counter_loop`
Fixes#4677 and #6074
Fix a false positive in `explicit_counter_loop` where the loop counter is used after incremented, adjust the test so that counters are incremented at the end of the loop and add the test for this false positive.

Add `rc_buffer` lint for checking Rc<String> and friends
Fixes#2623
This is a bit different from the original PR attempting to implement this type of lint. Rather than linting against converting into the unwanted types, this PR lints against declaring the unwanted type in a struct or function definition.
I'm reasonably happy with what I have here, although I used the fully qualified type names for the Path and OsString suggestions, and I'm not sure if I should have just used the short versions instead, even if they might not have been declared via use.
Also, I don't know if "buffer type" is the best way to put it or not. Alternatively I could call it a "growable type" or "growable buffer type", but I was thinking of PathBuf when I started making the lint.

Stabilize some Result methods as const
Stabilize the following methods of Result as const:
- `is_ok`
- `is_err`
- `as_ref`
A test is also included, analogous to the test for `const_option`.
These methods are currently const under the unstable feature `const_result` (tracking issue: #67520).
I believe these methods to be eligible for stabilization because of the stabilization of #49146 (Allow if and match in constants) and the trivial implementations, see also: [PR#75463](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/75463) and [PR#76135](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/76135).
Note: these methods are the only methods currently under the `const_result` feature, thus this PR results in the removal of the feature.
