Title: rustc: implement lint conventions (RFC 344)

[RFC 344](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/pull/344) proposes a set of naming
conventions for lints. This commit renames existing lints to follow the conventions.

Use the following sed script to bring your code up to date:

```
s/unnecessary_typecast/useless_typecasts/g
s/unsigned_negate/unsigned_negation/g
s/type_limits/useless_comparisons/g
s/type_overflow/overflowing_literals/g
s/ctypes/improper_ctypes/g
s/owned_heap_memory/box_pointers/g
s/unused_attribute/useless_attributes/g
s/path_statement/path_statements/g
s/unused_must_use/unused_must_use/g
s/unused_result/unused_results/g
s/non_uppercase_statics/non_upper_case_globals/g
s/unnecessary_parens/useless_parens/g
s/unnecessary_import_braces/useless_import_braces/g

Since a large number of lints are being renamed for RFC 344, this PR
adds some basic deprecation/renaming functionality to the pluggable lint
system. It allows a simple mapping of old to new names, and can warn
when old names are being used.

This change needs to be rolled out in stages. In this PR, the
deprecation warning is commented out, but the old name is forwarded to
the new one.

Once the PR lands and we have generated a new snapshot of the
compiler, we can add the deprecation warning and rename all uses of the
lints in the rust codebase. I will file a PR to do so.

Closes #16545
Closes #17932
