Implement new lint `iter_over_hash_type`

Implements and fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust-clippy/issues/11788

This PR adds a new *restriction* lint `iter_over_hash_type` which prevents `Hash`-types (that is, `HashSet` and `HashMap`) from being used as the iterator in `for` loops.

The justification for this is because in `Hash`-based types, the ordering of items is not guaranteed and may vary between executions of the same program on the same hardware. In addition, it reduces readability due to the unclear iteration order.

The implementation of this lint also ensures the following:
- Calls to `HashMap::keys`, `HashMap::values`, and `HashSet::iter` are also denied when used in `for` loops,
- When this expression is used in procedural macros, it is not linted/denied.

changelog: add new `iter_over_hash_type` lint to prevent unordered iterations through hashed data structures

/// ### What it does
/// This is a restriction lint which prevents the use of hash types (i.e., `HashSet` and `HashMap`) in for loops.
///
/// ### Why is this bad?
/// Because hash types are unordered, when iterated through such as in a for loop, the values are returned in
/// an undefined order. As a result, on redundant systems this may cause inconsistencies and anomalies.
/// In addition, the unknown order of the elements may reduce readability or introduce other undesired
/// side effects.
///
/// ### Example
/// ```no_run
/// let my_map = std::collections::HashMap::<i32, String>::new();
/// for (key, value) in my_map { /* ... */ }
/// ```
/// Use instead:
/// ```no_run
/// let my_map = std::collections::HashMap::<i32, String>::new();
/// let mut keys = my_map.keys().clone().collect::<Vec<_>>();
/// keys.sort();
/// for key in keys {
/// let value = &my_map[key];
/// }
/// ```
