Add Collapsible match lint
changelog: Add collapsible_match lint
Closes#1252Closes#2521
This lint finds nested `match` or `if let` patterns that can be squashed together. It is designed to be very conservative to only find cases where merging the patterns would most likely reduce cognitive complexity.
Example:
```rust
match result {
Ok(opt) => match opt {
Some(x) => x,
_ => return,
}
_ => return,
}
```
to
```rust
match result {
Ok(Some(x)) => x,
_ => return,
}
```
These criteria must be met for the lint to fire:
* The inner match has exactly 2 branches.
* Both the outer and inner match have a "wild" branch like `_ => ..`. There is a special case for `None => ..` to also be considered "wild-like".
* The contents of the wild branches are identical.
* The binding which "links" the matches is never used elsewhere.
Thanks to the hir, `if let`'s are easily included with this lint since they are desugared into equivalent `match`'es.
I think this would fit into the style category, but I would also understand changing it to pedantic.
