lint: deny transmuting from immutable to mutable, since it's undefined behavior

[breaking-change] Technically breaking, since code that had been using
these transmutes before will no longer compile. However, it was
undefined behavior, so really, it's a good thing. Fixing your code would
require some re-working to use an UnsafeCell instead.

Closes #13146
