Jonathan Brouwer f21c57d8c6 Rollup merge of #155359 - niacdoial:improperctypes-refactor2.2, r=petrochenkov
Improperctypes refactor2.2

This is "part 2/3 of 2/3 of 1/2" of the original pull request https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/134697 (refactor plus overhaul of the ImproperCTypes family of lints)
(all pulls of this series of pulls are supersets of the previous pulls.)
previous pull: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/155358
next pull: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/146273

This commit splits the lint's `visit_type` function into multiple functions that focus on specific things:
- visit_indirection (references, boxes, raw pointers)
- visit_variant_fields (the list of fields of a struct, enum variant, or union)
- visit_enum
- visit_struct_or_union
- visit_type (most "easy" decisions such as labeling `char` unsafe are here)

since, during these visits, we often move from an "outer type" to an "inner type" (structs, arrays, pointers, etc...),
two structs have been added to track the current state of a visit:
- VisitorState tracks the state related to the "original type" being checked (function argument/return, static variable)
- OuterTyData tracks the data related to the type "immediately outer to the current visited type"
