Remove powi, "square can be computed more efficiently"
powi(2) produces exactly the same native code as x * x
powi was part of the [`suboptimal_flops`] lint

Add `needless_bitwise_bool` lint
fixes#6827fixes#1594
changelog: Add ``[`needless_bitwise_bool`]`` lint
Creates a new `bitwise_bool` lint to convert `x & y` to `x && y` when both `x` and `y` are booleans. I also had to adjust thh `needless_bool` lint slightly, and fix a couple failing dogfood tests. I made it a correctness lint as per flip1995's comment [here](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/pull/3385#issuecomment-434715723), from a previous WIP attempt at this lint.
Fix FPs about generic args
Fix 2 false positives in [`use_self`] and [`useless_conversion`] lints, by taking into account generic args and comparing them.

New lint: `unused_async`
changelog: Adds a lint, `unused_async`, which checks for async functions with no await statements
`unused_async` is a lint that reduces code smell and overhead by encouraging async functions to be refactored into synchronous functions.
Fixes#7176
### Examples
```rust
async fn get_random_number() -> i64 {
4 // Chosen by fair dice roll. Guaranteed to be random.
}
```
Could be written as:
```rust
fn get_random_number() -> i64 {
4 // Chosen by fair dice roll. Guaranteed to be random.
}
```
Something like this, however, should **not** be caught by clippy:
```rust
#[async_trait]
trait AsyncTrait {
async fn foo();
}
struct Bar;
#[async_trait]
impl AsyncTrait for Bar {
async fn foo() {
println!("bar");
}
}
```
Stop linting `else if let` pattern in [`option_if_let_else`] lint
For readability concerns, it is counterproductive to lint `else if let` pattern.
Unfortunately the suggested code is much less readable.

Metadata collection monster searching for Clippy's configuration options
This PR teaches our lovely metadata collection monster which configurations are available inside Clippy. It then adds a new *Configuration* section to the lint documentation.
---
The implementation uses the `define_Conf!` macro to create a vector of metadata during compilation. This enables easy collection and parsing without the need of searching for the struct during a lint-pass (and it's quite elegant IMO). The information is then parsed into an intermediate struct called `ClippyConfiguration` which will be saved inside the `MetadataCollector` struct itself. It is currently only used to generate the *Configuration* section in the lint documentation, but I'm thinking about adding an overview of available configurations to the website. Saving them in this intermediate state without formatting them right away enables this in the future.
The new parsing will also allow us to have a documentation that spans over multiple lines in the future. For example, this will be valid when the old script has been removed:
```rust
/// Lint: BLACKLISTED_NAME.
/// The list of blacklisted names to lint about. NB: `bar` is not here since it has legitimate uses
(blacklisted_names: Vec<String> = ["foo", "baz", "quux"].iter().map(ToString::to_string).collect())
```
The deprecation reason is also currently being collected but not used any further and that's basically it.

match_single_binding: Fix invalid suggestion when match scrutinee has side effects
fixes#7094
changelog: `match_single_binding`: Fix invalid suggestion when match scrutinee has side effects
---
`Expr::can_have_side_effects` is used to determine the scrutinee has side effects, while this method is a little bit conservative for our use case. But I'd like to use it to avoid reimplementation of the method and too much heuristics. If you think this is problematic, then I'll implement a custom visitor to address it.
* Suggest `&mut iter` when the iterator is used after the loop.
* Suggest `&mut iter` when the iterator is a field in a struct.
* Don't lint when the iterator is a field in a struct, and the struct is
used in the loop.
* Lint when the loop is nested in another loop, but suggest `&mut iter`
unless the iterator is from a local declared inside the loop.
Metadata collection monster eating deprecated lints
This adds the collection of deprecated lints to the metadata collection monster. The JSON output has the same structure with the *new* lint group "DEPRECATED". Here is one of fourteen examples it was able to dig up in Clippy's code:
```JSON
{
"id": "assign_op_pattern",
"id_span": {
"path": "src/assign_ops.rs",
"line": 34
},
"group": "clippy::style",

"applicability": {
"is_multi_part_suggestion": false,

And you! Yes you! Sir or Madam can get all of this **for free** in Clippy if this PR gets merged. (Sorry for the silliness ^^)

The whole point of named fields is that we don't have to worry about
order. The names, not the position, communicate the information, so
worrying about consistency for consistency's sake is pedantic to a *T*.

It relaxes rules for `to_*` variant, so it doesn't lint in trait definitions
and implementations anymore.
Although, non-`Copy` type implementing trait's `to_*` method taking
`self` feels not good (consumes ownership, so should be rather named `into_`), it would be better if this case was a pedantic lint (allow-by-default) instead.
Refactor: arrange lints in misc_early module
This PR arranges misc_early lints so that they can be accessed more easily.
Basically, I refactored them following the instruction described in #6680.
