Update CONTRIBUTING.md to use RustRover instead of IntelliJ Rust (#15448)
JetBrains has transitioned from the IntelliJ Rust plugin to RustRover as
their dedicated Rust IDE. This updates the documentation to reflect this
change while maintaining backward compatibility with the existing `cargo
dev setup intellij` command.

Changes:
- Replace IntelliJ Rust references with RustRover in CONTRIBUTING.md
- Update links to point to official RustRover homepage
- Update development guide in book/src/development/basics.md
- Keep existing command names for backward compatibility

**Question**: Do we also need to change the `intellij` command to
`rustrover`?

fixes rust-lang/rust-clippy#15406

changelog: Update CONTRIBUTING.md to reference RustRover instead of
deprecated IntelliJ Rust

 ## Getting code-completion for rustc internals to work
 
-### IntelliJ Rust

+### RustRover
+Unfortunately, [`RustRover`][RustRover_homepage] does not (yet?) understand how Clippy uses compiler-internals
 using `extern crate` and it also needs to be able to read the source files of the rustc-compiler which are not
 available via a `rustup` component at the time of writing.
 To work around this, you need to have a copy of the [rustc-repo][rustc_repo] available which can be obtained via
 `git clone https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/`.
 Then you can run a `cargo dev` command to automatically make Clippy use the rustc-repo via path-dependencies
-which `IntelliJ Rust` will be able to understand.
+which `RustRover` will be able to understand.
 Run `cargo dev setup intellij --repo-path <repo-path>` where `<repo-path>` is a path to the rustc repo
 you just cloned.
 The command will add path-dependencies pointing towards rustc-crates inside the rustc repo to
-Clippy's `Cargo.toml`s and should allow `IntelliJ Rust` to understand most of the types that Clippy uses.

 Just make sure to remove the dependencies again before finally making a pull request!
