[`read_line_without_trim`]: detect string literal comparison and `.ends_with()` calls
This lint now also realizes that a comparison like `s == "foo"` and calls such as `s.ends_with("foo")` will fail if `s` was initialized by a call to `Stdin::read_line` (because of the trailing newline).

r? `@giraffate` assigning you because you reviewed #10970 that added this lint, so this is kinda a followup PR ^^

This adds a new lint that checks for calls to
Stdin::read_linewith a reference to a string that is then attempted to parse into an integer type without first trimming it, which is always going to fail at runtime.This is something that I've seen happen a lot to beginners, because it's easy to run into when following the example of chapter 2 in the book where it shows how to program a guessing game.
It would be nice if we could point beginners to clippy and tell them "let's see what clippy has to say" and have clippy explain to them why it fails 👀
I think this lint can later be "generalized" to work not just for
Stdinbut also anyBufRead(which seems to be where the guarantee about the trailing newline comes from) and also, matching/comparing it to a string slice that doesn't end in a newline character (e.g.input == "foo"is always going to fail)changelog: new lint: [
