Detect `mut arg: &Ty` meant to be `arg: &mut Ty` and provide structured suggestion
When a newcomer attempts to use an "out parameter" using borrows, they sometimes get confused and instead of mutating the borrow they try to mutate the function-local binding instead. This leads to either type errors (due to assigning an owned value to a mutable binding of reference type) or a multitude of lifetime errors and unused binding warnings.
This change adds a suggestion to the type error
```
error[E0308]: mismatched types
--> $DIR/mut-arg-of-borrowed-type-meant-to-be-arg-of-mut-borrow.rs:6:14
|
LL | fn change_object(mut object: &Object) {
| ------- expected due to this parameter type
LL | let object2 = Object;
LL | object = object2;
| ^^^^^^^ expected `&Object`, found `Object`
|
help: you might have meant to mutate the pointed at value being passed in, instead of changing the reference in the local binding
|
LL ~ fn change_object(object: &mut Object) {
LL | let object2 = Object;
LL ~ *object = object2;
|
```
and to the unused assignment lint
```
error: value assigned to `object` is never read
