New lint: Suggest using Self::Variant instead of TheType::Variant #4296

@Centril

Description

@Centril

Since Rust 1.37.0 (hits stable on August 15th 2019) it is possible to use Self:: inside implementations to refer to variants of the Self type. This was stabilized in rust-lang/rust#61682 (see it for tests).

Similar to the suggestion to match and construct via Self(...) or Self { ... } it would be likewise good to suggest matching and constructing through Self::Variant where applicable. This seems consistent with Clippy's sensibilities... :)
