Downgrade let_unit_value to pedantic
Given that the false positive in #1502 is marked E-hard and I don't have much hope of it getting fixed, I think it would be wise to disable this lint by default. I have had to suppress this lint in every substantial codebase (\>100k line) I have worked in. Any time this lint is being triggered, it's always the false positive case.
The motivation for this lint is documented as:
> A unit value cannot usefully be used anywhere. So binding one is kind of pointless.
with this example:
> ```rust
> let x = {
> 1;
> };
> ```
Sure, but the author would find this out via an unused_variable warning or from `x` not being the type that they need further down. If there ends up being a type error on `x`, clippy's advice isn't going to help get the code compiling because it can only run if the code already compiles.
changelog: Remove let_unit_value from default set of enabled lints
Add lint to detect floating point operations that can be computed more
accurately at the cost of performance. `cbrt`, `ln_1p` and `exp_m1`
library functions call their equivalent cmath implementations which is
slower but more accurate so moving checks for these under this new lint.
Merge the accuracy and efficiency lints into a single lint that
checks for improvements to accuracy, efficiency and readability
of floating-point expressions.
Move check for lossy whole-number floats out of `excessive_precision`
changelog: Add new lint `lossy_float_literal` to detect lossy whole number float literals and move it out of `excessive_precision` again.

Deprecate util/dev in favor of cargo alias
This means one less shell script and a bit more cross-platform support
for contributors.
If you've been using `./util/dev` before, this now becomes `cargo dev`.
The key part of this change is found in `.cargo/config` where an alias for calling the `clippy_dev` binary is defined.
changelog: none

Detect usage of invalid atomic ordering in memory fences
Detect usage of `core::sync::atomic::{fence, compiler_fence}` with `Ordering::Relaxed` and suggest valid alternatives.
changelog: Extend `invalid_atomic_ordering` to lint memory fences
Fixes#5026
