Kevin Reid 0f5338cd90 For restriction lints, replace “Why is this bad?” with “Why restrict this?”
The `restriction` group contains many lints which are not about
necessarily “bad” things, but style choices — perhaps even style choices
which contradict conventional Rust style — or are otherwise very
situational. This results in silly wording like “Why is this bad?
It isn't, but ...”, which I’ve seen confuse a newcomer at least once.

To improve this situation, this commit replaces the “Why is this bad?”
section heading with “Why restrict this?”, for most, but not all,
restriction lints. I left alone the ones whose placement in the
restriction group is more incidental.

In order to make this make sense, I had to remove the “It isn't, but”
texts from the contents of the sections. Sometimes further changes
were needed, or there were obvious fixes to make, and I went ahead
and made those changes without attempting to split them into another
commit, even though many of them are not strictly necessary for the
“Why restrict this?” project.

/// ### Why restrict this?
/// A project may wish to limit `pub use` instances to prevent
/// unintentional exports, or to encourage placing exported items directly in public modules.

/// ### Example
/// ```no_run
/// pub mod outer {
/// mod inner {
/// pub struct Test {}
/// }
/// pub use inner::Test;
/// }
///
/// use outer::Test;
/// ```
/// Use instead:

///
/// use outer::Test;
