Add lint which checks that duration math isn't losing precision

**Description**
Add a lint which checks for a binop or cast where the expression
is converting a Duration to a floating point number, and losing
precision along the way.

The lint won't fire for most cases involving `as_nanos()` since
converting that to floating point already gives the max precision.

The lint is also restricted to an MSRV of 1.38.0, since that is
when the `as_secs_{f32,f64}()` methods were stabilized.

**Motivation**
This change is motivated by [a rust stdlib ACP which proposed
`as_millis_{f64,f32}`][ACP-link]. As part of that I did some code
searches on github (see ACP for links) that showed a lot of code
which converted Duration values to floating point using methods other
than `as_secs_{f32,64}()`, and were losing precision because of that.

This lint seems like a good way to raise awareness and prompt
using the existing methods.

[ACP-link]: rust-lang/libs-team#349

**Testing Done**
Added UI tests, ran `cargo test`, followed the Clippy manual
