The &[&str] path based clippy_utils have been removed and replace with a new type PathLookup:

• match_trait_method
• match_qpath
• match_path
• match_any_def_paths
• match_def_path
• match_type
• get_trait_def_id

Internally PathLookup is a lazy call to lookup_path (the new name for def_path_res to distinguish it from path_res)

The invalid_paths internal lint is removed, it could be reimplemented but it feels redundant since every path should be covered by a test anyway

User facing changes

• manual_saturating_arithmetic now checks for u32::MAX/MIN instead of only detecting the legacy numeric consts (std::u32::MAX/MIN), clippy::legacy_numeric_constants will redirect usages of the legacy versions to the new one

• allow-invalid = true now suppresses all invalid path warnings, currently you can run into a warning that can't be ignored in some situations, e.g. with serde without the derive feature

  warning: expected a macro, found a trait

    |
  2 |     { path = "serde::Serialize", allow-invalid = true },
    |     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
  

• Re-exports of primitives types like std::primitive::* no longer work in disallowed-types, this seems acceptable since it would be unusual to deny a primitive this way rather than writing e.g. usize. Type aliases such as c_char are unaffected

• A similar slight performance improvement to Replace interning of string literals with preinterned symbols #14650
