Rollup merge of rust-lang#76894 - ecstatic-morse:lint-unused-borrows, r=lcnr

Lint for unused borrows as part of `UNUSED_MUST_USE`

Resolves rust-lang#76264.

This means an `unused_must_use` warning for statements like `&expr;` and `&mut expr;`. `unused_must_use` was chosen because it already lints for logical operators (`&&` and `||`) whose result is unused. Unused borrows actually appear fairly often in `rustc`'s test suite, since we have tests that rely on side-effects of the index operator (panicking). These cannot be written as `expr[..];`, since the result is unsized, but they can be written as `let _ = &expr[..];`, which is what this PR does.

See the linked issue for the motivating example. This lint also found a benign mistake in the derived impl of `HashStable`.
