Make trivial-copy-size-limit consistently the size of the target pointer (#13319)
Fixes
https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/257328-clippy/topic/Ambiguous.20default.20value.20for.20.60trivial-copy-size-limit.60

The current situation is

| Target width | `trivial-copy-size-limit`|
|--------|--------|
| 8-bit | 2 |
| 16-bit | 4 |
| 32-bit | 8 |
| 64-bit | 8 |

~~Since practically speaking it's almost always 8, let's go with that as
the unconditional default to make it easier to understand~~

Now defaults to `target_pointer_width`

changelog: [`trivial-copy-size-limit`] now also defaults to the size of
a target pointer (unchanged for 64-bit targets)

Clippy

License: MIT OR Apache-2.0

A collection of lints to catch common mistakes and improve your Rust code.

There are over 750 lints included in this crate!

Lints are divided into categories, each with a default lint level. You can choose how much Clippy is supposed to annoy help you by changing the lint level by category.

Category Description Default level
clippy::all all lints that are on by default (correctness, suspicious, style, complexity, perf) warn/deny
clippy::correctness code that is outright wrong or useless deny
clippy::suspicious code that is most likely wrong or useless warn
clippy::style code that should be written in a more idiomatic way warn
clippy::complexity code that does something simple but in a complex way warn
clippy::perf code that can be written to run faster warn
clippy::pedantic lints which are rather strict or have occasional false positives allow
clippy::restriction lints which prevent the use of language and library features1 allow
clippy::nursery new lints that are still under development allow
clippy::cargo lints for the cargo manifest allow

More to come, please file an issue if you have ideas!

The restriction category should, emphatically, not be enabled as a whole. The contained lints may lint against perfectly reasonable code, may not have an alternative suggestion, and may contradict any other lints (including other categories). Lints should be considered on a case-by-case basis before enabling.
