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

[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.
