Samuel Tardieu 5137bb3ceb Handle Result<T, !> and ControlFlow<!, T> as T wrt #[must_use]
There is a proposal to change the behaviour of rustc's `must_use` lint
to consider `Result<T, U>` and `ControlFlow<U, T>` as `T` when `U` is
uninhabited. See <https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/148214>.

This might make the user adding extra `#[must_use]` attributes to
functions returning `Result<T, !>` or `ControlFlow<!, T>`, which would
trigger the `double_must_use` lint in Clippy without the current change.
