Warn about unnecessary heap allocations #6145

Description

@jruderman

Per https://mail.mozilla.org/pipermail/rust-dev/2013-April/003867.html these are unnecessarily inefficient:

~"foo" == x

x == ~"foo"

More generally, whenever a heap literal (~value or @value) appears where a borrow is used, the compiler could warn. I'm not sure if want this to apply to all locals or only some (small ones? temporaries within expressions?).
