This will help not to meet confusing errors.
In issue #5873, the error was "expected constant expr for vector length: Can't cast str to int".
It was originally "expected constant expr for vector length: Non-constant path in constant expr" (though still invalid error).
This patch make the original error to be printed.

Add a new lint `ptr_as_ptr`

This PR adds a new lint `ptr_as_ptr` which checks for `as` casts between raw pointers without changing its mutability and suggest replacing it with `pointer::cast`. Closes rust-lang#5890.

Open question: should this lint be `pedantic` or `style`? I set it `pedantic` for now because the original post suggests using it, but I think the lint also fits well to `style`.
