Hi @matthewjasper. Thanks for the review!

The current status of this PR is "pretty bare bones". Sorry for the lack of work :P
Tomorrow I will address the comments and start coding again.

This change introduced some mixed performance results. The largest changes are performance wins, but regressions outweight improvements in terms of numbers. Interestingly, many of the regressions were in full builds, and I'm not quite sure why that would be.

As part of the performance triage process, I'm marking this as a performance regression. If you believe this performance regression to be justifiable or once you have an issue or PR that addresses this regression, please mark this PR with the label perf-regression-triaged.

Fix clippy::collapsible_match with let expressions

This fixes rust-lang/rust-clippy#7575 which is a regression from rust-lang#80357. I am fixing the bug here instead of in the clippy repo (if that's okay) because a) the regression has not been synced yet and b) I would like to land the fix on nightly asap.

The fix is basically to re-generalize `match` and `if let` for the lint implementation (they were split because `if let` no longer desugars to `match` in the HIR).

Also fixes rust-lang/rust-clippy#7586

Hmm, I can't see anything from the by query times, so maybe this is a case where codegen has been slightly regressed resulting in a slower rustc. I'll investigate some more and create a PR soon if I find anything.

Add expansion to while desugar spans

In the same vein as rust-lang#88163, this reverts a change in Clippy behavior as a result of rust-lang#80357 (and reverts some `#[allow]`s): This changes `clippy::blocks_in_if_conditions` to not fire on `while` loops. Though we might actually want Clippy to lint those cases, we should introduce the change purposefully, with tests, and possibly under a different lint name.

The actual change here is to add a desugaring expansion to the spans when lowering a `while` loop.

Stabilize `let_chains` in Rust 1.64

# Stabilization proposal

This PR proposes the stabilization of `#![feature(let_chains)]` in a future-compatibility way that will allow the **possible** addition of the `EXPR is PAT` syntax.

Tracking issue: rust-lang#53667
Version: 1.64 (beta => 2022-08-11, stable => 2022-10-22).

## What is stabilized

The ability to chain let expressions along side local variable declarations or ordinary conditional expressions. For example:

```rust
pub enum Color {
    Blue,
    Red,
    Violet,
}

pub enum Flower {
    Rose,
    Tulip,
    Violet,
}

pub fn roses_are_red_violets_are_blue_printer(
    (first_flower, first_flower_color): (Flower, Color),
    (second_flower, second_flower_color): (Flower, Color),
    pick_up_lines: &[&str],
) {
    if let Flower::Rose = first_flower
        && let Color::Red = first_flower_color
        && let Flower::Violet = second_flower
        && let Color::Blue = second_flower_color
        && let &[first_pick_up_line, ..] = pick_up_lines
    {
        println!("Roses are red, violets are blue, {}", first_pick_up_line);
    }
}

fn main() {
    roses_are_red_violets_are_blue_printer(
        (Flower::Rose, Color::Red),
        (Flower::Violet, Color::Blue),
        &["sugar is sweet and so are you"],
    );
}
```

## Motivation

The main motivation for this feature is improving readability, ergonomics and reducing paper cuts.

For more examples, see the [RFC](https://github.com/rust-lang/rfcs/blob/master/text/2497-if-let-chains.md).

* On 2022-03-08, [Warn users about `||` in let chain expressions](rust-lang#94754)

From the first RFC (2017-12-24) to the theoretical future stabilization day (2022-10-22), it can be said that this feature took 4 years, 9 months and 28 days of research, development, discussions, agreements and headaches to be settled.

## Divergent non-terminal matchers

More specifically, rust-lang#86730.

```rust
macro_rules! mac {
    ($e:expr) => {
        if $e {
            true
        } else {
            false
        }
    };
}

fn main() {
    // OK!
    assert_eq!(mac!(true && let 1 = 1), true);

    // ERROR! Anything starting with `let` is not considered an expression
    assert_eq!(mac!(let 1 = 1 && true), true);
}
```

To the best of my knowledge, such error or divergence is orthogonal, does not prevent stabilization and can be tackled independently in the near future or effectively in the next Rust 2024 edition. If not, then https://github.com/c410-f3r/rust/tree/let-macro-blah contains a set of changes that will consider `let` an expression.

It is possible that none of the solutions above satisfies all applicable constraints but I personally don't know of any other plausible answers.

## Alternative syntax

Taking into account the usefulness of this feature and the overwhelming desire to use both now and in the past, `let PAT = EXPR` will be utilized for stabilization but it doesn't or shall create any obstacle for a **possible** future addition of `EXPR is PAT`.

The introductory snippet would then be written as the following.

```rust
if first_flower is Flower::Rose
    && first_flower_color is Color::Red
    && second_flower is Flower::Violet
    && second_flower_color is Color::Blue
    && pick_up_lines is &[first_pick_up_line, ..]
{
    println!("Roses are red, violets are blue, {}", first_pick_up_line);
}
```

Just to reinforce, this PR only unblocks a **possible** future road for `EXPR is PAT` and does emphasize what is better or what is worse.

* [`let_chains`, as well as `if_let_guard`, has a valid MIR graph that evaluates conditional expressions correctly](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/test/ui/rfc-2497-if-let-chains/then-else-blocks.rs)

Most of the infra-structure used by let chains is also used by `if` expressions in stable compiler versions since rust-lang#80357 and rust-lang#88572. As a result, no bugs were found since the integration of rust-lang#88642.

## Possible future work

* Let chains in match guards is implemented and working but stabilization is blocked by `if_let_guard`.

* The usage of `let_chains` with `let_else` is possible but not implemented. Regardless, one attempt was introduced and closed in rust-lang#93437.

Thanks `@Centril` for creating the RFC and huge thanks (again) to `@matthewjasper` for all the reviews, mentoring and MIR implementations.

To the best of my knowledge, such error or divergence is orthogonal, does not prevent stabilization and can be tackled independently in the near future or effectively in the next Rust 2024 edition. If not, then https://github.com/c410-f3r/rust/tree/let-macro-blah contains a set of changes that will consider `let` an expression.

It is possible that none of the solutions above satisfies all applicable constraints but I personally don't know of any other plausible answers.

## Alternative syntax

Taking into account the usefulness of this feature and the overwhelming desire to use both now and in the past, `let PAT = EXPR` will be utilized for stabilization but it doesn't or shall create any obstacle for a **possible** future addition of `EXPR is PAT`.

The introductory snippet would then be written as the following.

```rust
if first_flower is Flower::Rose
    && first_flower_color is Color::Red
    && second_flower is Flower::Violet
    && second_flower_color is Color::Blue
    && pick_up_lines is &[first_pick_up_line, ..]
{
    println!("Roses are red, violets are blue, {}", first_pick_up_line);
}
```

Just to reinforce, this PR only unblocks a **possible** future road for `EXPR is PAT` and does emphasize what is better or what is worse.

* [`let_chains`, as well as `if_let_guard`, has a valid MIR graph that evaluates conditional expressions correctly](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/blob/master/src/test/ui/rfc-2497-if-let-chains/then-else-blocks.rs)

Most of the infra-structure used by let chains is also used by `if` expressions in stable compiler versions since rust-lang/rust#80357 and rust-lang/rust#88572. As a result, no bugs were found since the integration of rust-lang/rust#88642.

## Possible future work

* Let chains in match guards is implemented and working but stabilization is blocked by `if_let_guard`.

* The usage of `let_chains` with `let_else` is possible but not implemented. Regardless, one attempt was introduced and closed in rust-lang/rust#93437.

Thanks `@Centril` for creating the RFC and huge thanks (again) to `@matthewjasper` for all the reviews, mentoring and MIR implementations.
