Add new `function_casts_as_integer` lint
The `function_casts_as_integer` lint detects cases where users cast a function pointer into an integer.
*warn-by-default*
### Example
```rust
fn foo() {}
let x = foo as usize;
```
```
warning: casting a function into an integer implicitly
--> $DIR/function_casts_as_integer.rs:9:17
|
LL | let x = foo as usize;
| ^^^^^^^^
|
help: add `fn() as usize`
|
LL | let x = foo as fn() as usize;
| +++++++
```
### Explanation
You should never cast a function directly into an integer but go through a cast as `fn` first to make it obvious what's going on. It also allows to prevent confusion with (associated) constants.
