Suggest {to,from}_ne_bytes for transmutations between arrays and integers, etc
implements #136067
Rust has helper methods for many kinds of safe transmutes, for example integer<->bytes. This is a lint against using transmute for these cases.
```rs
fn bytes_at_home(x: [u8; 4]) -> u32 {
transmute(x)
}
// other examples
transmute::<[u8; 2], u16>();
transmute::<[u8; 8], f64>();
transmute::<u32, [u8; 4]>();
transmute::<char, u32>();
transmute::<u32, char>();
```
It would be handy to suggest `u32::from_ne_bytes(x)`.
This is implemented for `[u8; _]` -> `{float int}`
This also implements the cases:
`fXX` <-> `uXX` = `{from_bits, to_bits}`
`uXX` -> `iXX` via `cast_unsigned` and `cast_signed`
{`char` -> `u32`, `bool` -> `n8`} via `from`
`u32` -> `char` via `from_u32_unchecked` (note: notes `from_u32().unwrap()`) (contested)
`u8` -> `bool` via `==` (debatable)
