don't link to the nightly version of the Edition Guide in stable lints
As reported in rust-lang/rust#143557 for `rust_2024_incompatible_pat`, most future-Edition-incompatibility lints link to the nightly version of the Edition Guide; the lints were written before their respective Editions (and their guides) stabilized. But now that Rusts 2021 and 2024 are stable, these lints are emitted on stable versions of the compiler, where it makes more sense to present users with links that don't say "nightly" in them.
This does not change the link for `rust_2024_incompatible_pat`. That's handled in rust-lang/rust#144006.
clippy: make tests work in stage 1
This finally fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/78717 :)
Similar to what Miri already does, the clippy test step needs to carefully consider which compiler is used to build clippy and which compiler is linked into clippy (and thus must be used to build the test dependencies). On top of that we have some extra complications that Miri avoided by using `cargo-miri` for building its test dependencies: we need cargo to use the right rustc and the right sysroot, but https://github.com/rust-lang/cargo/issues/4423 makes this quite hard to do. See the long comment in `src/tools/clippy/tests/compile-test.rs` for details.
Some clippy tests tried to import rustc crates; that fundamentally requires a full bootstrap loop so it cannot work in stage 1. I had to kind of guess what those tests were doing so I don't know if my changes there make any sense.

The useless_attribute lint was incorrectly flagging #[expect(redundant_imports)]
as useless when applied to macro re-exports. This occurred because the lint
didn't recognize 'redundant_imports' as a valid rustc lint name.
This commit:
- Adds 'redundant_imports' to the list of known rustc lints in sym.rs
- Updates the useless_attribute lint to properly handle this case
- Adds a regression test to prevent future false positives
Fixesrust-lang/rust-clippy#15192 by adding checks for no_std while
giving out Box recommendation
```
changelog: [`large_enum_variant`]: Dont suggest `Box` in `no_std` mode
```
- Updated the `help:` text to include a more general suggestion
- Ensures compatibility with `#[no_std]` environments where boxing is
still possible via `alloc`.
Closesrust-lang/rust-clippy#15007
Removes the `break` stmt and the dead code after it when appropriate.
changelog: [`never_loop`] Make sure to remove `break` in suggestions
This makes `const` contexts use the `const`-stability version information
instead of the regular stability one, as `const`-stability may happen
much later than stability in non-`const` contexts.
Reword mismatched-lifetime-syntaxes text based on feedback
Key changes include:
- Removal of the word "syntax" from the lint message. More accurately, it could have been something like "syntax group" or "syntax category", but avoiding it completely is easier.
- The primary lint message now reflects exactly which mismatch is occurring, instead of trying to be general. A new `help` line is general across the mismatch kinds.
- Suggestions have been reduced to be more minimal, no longer also changing non-idiomatic but unrelated aspects.
- Suggestion text no longer mentions changes when those changes don't occur in that specific suggestion.

This PR supersedes #14328 following the [2025-03-18 Clippy meeting
discussion](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/channel/257328-clippy/topic/Meeting.202025-03-18/with/506527762).
It uses a simpler approach than what was proposed initially in #14328
and does not add new options.
First, it documents how `cfg_attr` can be used to change the MSRV
considered by Clippy to trigger the lint. This allows the MSRV to be
feature gated, or to be raised in tests.
Also, the lint stops warning about items which have been explicitly
allowed through a rustc feature. This works even if the feature has been
stabilized since. It allows using an older compiler with some features
turned on, as is done in Rust for Linux. This fixes#14425.
Then, if the lint triggers, and it looks like the code is located below
a `cfg` or `cfg_attr` attribute, an additional note is issued, once, to
indicate that the `clippy::msrv` attribute can be controlled by an
attribute.
Finally, the lint is extended to cover any path, not just method and
function calls. For example, enumeration variants, or constants, were
not MSRV checked. This required replacing two `u32::MAX` by
`u32::max_value()` in MSRV-limited tests.
An extra commit adds a TODO for checking the const stability also, as
this is not done right now.
@Centri3 I'll assign this to you because you were assigned #14328 and
you were the one who nominated the issue for discussion (thanks!), but
of course feel free to reroll!

changelog: [`incompatible_msrv`]: better documentation, honor the
`features` attribute, and lint non-function entities as well
To avoid false positives, the `range_plus_one` and `range_minus_one`
lints will restrict themselves to situations where the iterator types
can be easily switched from exclusive to inclusive or vice-versa. This
includes situations where the range is used as an iterator, or is used
for indexing.
On the other hand, assignments of the range to variables, including
automatically typed ones or wildcards, will no longer trigger the lint.
However, the cases where such an assignment would benefit from the lint
are probably rare.
In a second commit, the `range_plus_one` and `range_minus_one` logic are
unified, in order to properly emit parentheses around the suggestion
when needed.

changelog: [`range_plus_one`, `range_minus_one`]: restrict lint to cases
where it is safe to switch the range type
*Edit:* as a consequence, this led to the removal of three
`#[expect(clippy::range_plus_one)]` in the Clippy sources to avoid those
false positives.
No longer suggests `&[i32]` or `&mut [i32]` instead of `&Vec<i32>` or
`&mut Vec<i32>` (also: `Path` and `PathBuf`, etc.) for the parameter
type when the parameter name starts with an underscore (or, if that does
not start with one, then a local `let` binding in the function body,
pointing to the same value, does) – (Fixesrust-lang/rust-clippy#13489,
