Auto merge of #7265 - Jarcho:manual_str_repeat, r=giraffate
Add lint `manual_str_repeat`

fixes: #7260

There's a similar function for slices. Should this be renamed to include it, or should that be a separate lint? If we are going to have them as one lint a better name will be needed. `manual_repeat` isn't exactly clear as it's replacing a call to `iter::repeat`.

changelog: Add new lint `manual_str_repeat`
