New Lint [impl_hash_with_borrow_str_and_bytes]

Implements a lint to prevent implementation of Hash, Borrow<str> and
Borrow<[u8]> as it breaks Borrow<T> "semantics". According to the book,
types that implement Borrow<A> and Borrow<B> must ensure equality of
borrow results under Eq,Ord and Hash.

> In particular Eq, Ord and Hash must be equivalent for borrowed and
owned values: x.borrow() == y.borrow() should give the same result as x == y.

In the same way, hash(x) == hash(x as Borrow<[u8]>) != hash(x as Borrow<str>).

+    /// ### What it does
+    ///
+    /// This lint is concerned with the semantics of `Borrow` and `Hash` for a
+    /// type that implements all three of `Hash`, `Borrow<str>` and `Borrow<[u8]>`
+    /// as it is impossible to satisfy the semantics of Borrow and `Hash` for
+    /// both `Borrow<str>` and `Borrow<[u8]>`.
+    ///
+    /// ### Why is this bad?
+    ///
+    /// When providing implementations for `Borrow<T>`, one should consider whether the different
+    /// implementations should act as facets or representations of the underlying type. Generic code
+    /// typically uses `Borrow<T>` when it relies on the identical behavior of these additional trait
+    /// implementations. These traits will likely appear as additional trait bounds.
+    ///
+    /// In particular `Eq`, `Ord` and `Hash` must be equivalent for borrowed and owned values:
+    /// `x.borrow() == y.borrow()` should give the same result as `x == y`.
+    /// It follows then that the following equivalence must hold:
+    /// `hash(x) == hash((x as Borrow<[u8]>).borrow()) == hash((x as Borrow<str>).borrow())`
+    ///
+    /// Unfortunately it doesn't hold as `hash("abc") != hash("abc".as_bytes())`.
+    /// This happens because the `Hash` impl for str passes an additional `0xFF` byte to
+    /// the hasher to avoid collisions. For example, given the tuples `("a", "bc")`, and `("ab", "c")`,
+    /// the two tuples would have the same hash value if the `0xFF` byte was not added.
+    ///
+    /// ### Example
+    ///
+    /// ```
+    /// use std::borrow::Borrow;
+    /// use std::hash::{Hash, Hasher};
+    ///
+    /// struct ExampleType {
+    ///     data: String
