Fix false positive in useless_attribute with redundant_imports

The useless_attribute lint was incorrectly flagging #[expect(redundant_imports)]
as useless when applied to macro re-exports. This occurred because the lint
didn't recognize 'redundant_imports' as a valid rustc lint name.

This commit:
- Adds 'redundant_imports' to the list of known rustc lints in sym.rs
- Updates the useless_attribute lint to properly handle this case
- Adds a regression test to prevent future false positives
