Jacob Pratt 0af72af1b8 Rollup merge of #154197 - yuk1ty:fix-redundant-clone-error2, r=adwinwhite
Avoid redundant clone suggestions in borrowck diagnostics

Fixes rust-lang/rust#153886

Removed redundant `.clone()` suggestions.

I found that there are two patterns to handle this issue while I was implementing:

- Should suggest only UFCS
- Should suggest only simple `.clone()`

For the target issue, we can just remove the UFCS (`<Option<String> as Clone>::clone(&selection.1)`) side.

However, for the `BorrowedContentSource::OverloadedDeref` pattern like `Rc<Vec<i32>>`, for instance the `borrowck-move-out-of-overloaded-auto-deref.rs` test case, I think we need to employ the UFCS way. The actual test case is:

```rust
//@ run-rustfix
use std::rc::Rc;

pub fn main() {
    let _x = Rc::new(vec![1, 2]).into_iter();
    //~^ ERROR [E0507]
}
```

And another error will be shown if we simply use the simple `.clone()` pattern. Like:

```rust
use std::rc::Rc;

pub fn main() {
    let _x = Rc::new(vec![1, 2]).clone().into_iter();
}
```

then we will get

```

help: you can `clone` the value and consume it, but this might not be your desired behavior

  5 -     let _x = Rc::new(vec![1, 2]).clone().into_iter();
  5 +     let _x = <Vec<i32> as Clone>::clone(&Rc::new(vec![1, 2])).into_iter();

[Rust Playground](https://play.rust-lang.org/?version=stable&mode=debug&edition=2024&gist=7e767bed3f1c573c03642f20f454ed03)

In this case, `Rc::clone` only increments the reference count and returns a new `Rc<Vec<i32>>`; it does not grant ownership of the inner `Vec<i32>`. As a result, calling into_iter() attempts to move the `Vec<i32>`, leading to the same E0507 error again.

On the other hand, in UFCS form:

```
<Vec<i32> as Clone>::clone(&Rc::new(vec![1, 2])).into_iter()
```

This explicitly calls `<Vec<i32> as Clone>::clone`, and the argument `&Rc<Vec<i32>>` is treated as `&Vec<i32>` via Rc’s `Deref` implementation. As a result, the `Vec<i32>` itself is cloned, yielding an owned `Vec<i32>`, which allows `into_iter()` to succeed, if my understanding is correct.

I addressed the issue as far as I could find the edge cases but please advice me if I'm overlooking something.

This is the main source code repository for Rust. It contains the compiler, standard library, and documentation.

Why Rust?

  • Performance: Fast and memory-efficient, suitable for critical services, embedded devices, and easily integrated with other languages.

  • Reliability: Our rich type system and ownership model ensure memory and thread safety, reducing bugs at compile-time.

  • Productivity: Comprehensive documentation, a compiler committed to providing great diagnostics, and advanced tooling including package manager and build tool (Cargo), auto-formatter (rustfmt), linter (Clippy) and editor support (rust-analyzer).
