Start making clippy easier to invoke in non-cargo contexts
Clippy (clippy-driver) currently has a couple of strong but unnecessary couplings with cargo. This series:
1. makes detection of check builds more robust, and
2. make clippy-driver use the --sysroot specified on the command line as its internal sysroot.
Fix `cast_sign_loss` false positive
This checks if the value is a non-negative constant before linting about
losing the sign.
Because the `constant` function doesn't handle const functions, we check if
the value is from a call to a `max_value` function directly. A utility method
called `get_def_path` was added to make checking for the function paths
easier.
Fixes#2728
The rustc change added HirId to a few nodes. As I understand it, the plan is
to remove the NodeId from these nodes eventually. Where the NodeId was
not being matched, I used `..` to try and avoid further breakage. Where it
was, I used `_` to make the fix easier when NodeId is removed.
Adding lint test for excessive LOC.
This is a WIP for #2377. Just wanted to pull in because I had a few questions:
1. Is it okay that I'm approaching this via counting by looking at each line in the snippet instead of looking at the AST tree? If there's another way to do it, I want to make sure I'm doing the correct way, but I wasn't sure since the output AST JSON doesn't seem to contain whitespace.
2. My function is definitely going to trigger the lint, so also wanted to see if there was something obvious I could do to reduce it.
3. Are the two tests fine, or is there something obvious I'm missing?
4. Obviously bigger question - am I approaching the line count correctly. Current strategy is count a line if it contains some code, so skip if it's just comments or empty.
`hir::Ty` doesn't seem to know anything about type bounds and
`cx.tcx.type_of(def_id)` caused an ICE when it was passed a generic type
with a bound:
```
src/librustc_typeck/collect.rs:1311: unexpected non-type Node::GenericParam: Type { default: None, synthetic: None }
```
Converting it to a proper `Ty` fixes the ICE and catches a few more
places where the lint applies.

Add initial version of const_fn lint
This adds an initial version of a lint that can tell if a function could be `const`.
