Unrolled build for rust-lang#134977

Rollup merge of rust-lang#134977 - estebank:issue-112357, r=BoxyUwU

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

```
