Subject: [PATCH] rust: allow `clippy::collapsible_match` globally

The `clippy::collapsible_match` lint [1] can make code harder to read
in certain cases [2], e.g.

      CLIPPY P rust/libmacros.so - due to command line change
    warning: this `if` can be collapsed into the outer `match`
      --> rust/pin-init/internal/src/helpers.rs:91:17

    91 | /                 if nesting == 1 {
    92 | |                     impl_generics.push(tt.clone());
    93 | |                     impl_generics.push(tt);
    94 | |                     skip_until_comma = false;
    95 | |                 }
       | |_________________^

       = help: for further information visit https://rust-lang.github.io/rust-clippy/master/index.html#collapsible_match
       = note: `-W clippy::collapsible-match` implied by `-W clippy::all`
       = help: to override `-W clippy::all` add `#[allow(clippy::collapsible_match)]`

    90 ~             TokenTree::Punct(p) if skip_until_comma && p.as_char() == ','
    91 ~                 && nesting == 1 => {
    92 |                     impl_generics.push(tt.clone());
    93 |                     impl_generics.push(tt);
    94 |                     skip_until_comma = false;
    95 ~                 }
       |

The lint does not have much upside -- when the suggestion may be a good
one, it would still read fine when nested anyway. And it is the kind of
lint that may easily bias people to just apply the suggestion instead
of allowing it.

[ In addition, as Gary points out [3], the suggestion is also wrong [4] and
  in the process of being fixed [5], possibly for Rust 1.97.0:

Thus just let developers decide on their own.
