Auto merge of #140717 - mejrs:diagnostic_lints, r=oli-obk
Split up the `unknown_or_malformed_diagnostic_attributes` lint
This splits up the lint into the following lint group:
- `unknown_diagnostic_attributes` - triggers if the attribute is unknown to the current compiler
- `misplaced_diagnostic_attributes` - triggers if the attribute exists but it is not placed on the item kind it's meant for
- `malformed_diagnostic_attributes` - triggers if the attribute's syntax or options are invalid
- `malformed_diagnostic_format_literals` - triggers if the format string literal is invalid, for example if it has unpaired curly braces or invalid parameters
- this pr doesn't create it, but future lints for things like deprecations can also go here.
This PR does not start emitting lints in places that previously did not.
## Motivation
I want to have finer control over what `unknown_or_malformed_diagnostic_attributes` does
I have a project with fairly low msrv that is/will have a lower msrv than future diagnostic attributes. So lints will be emitted when I or others compile it on a lower msrv.
At this time, there are two options to silence these lints:
- `#[allow(unknown_or_malformed_diagnostic_attributes)]` - this risks diagnostic regressions if I (or others) mess up using the attribute, or if the attribute's syntax ever changes.
- write a build script to detect the compiler version and emit cfgs, and then conditionally enable the attribute:
```rust
#[cfg_attr(rust_version_99, diagnostic::new_attr_in_rust_99(thing = ..))]`
struct Foo;
```
or conditionally `allow` the lint:
```rust
// lib.rs
#![cfg_attr(not(current_rust), allow(unknown_or_malformed_diagnostic_attributes))]
```
I like to avoid using build scripts if I can, so the following works much better for me. That is what this PR will let me do in the future:
```rust
#[allow(unknown_diagnostic_attribute, reason = "attribute came out in rust 1.99 but msrv is 1.70")]
#[diagnostic::new_attr_in_rust_99(thing = ..)]`
struct Foo;
