Auto merge of #11136 - y21:enhance_read_line_without_trim, r=dswij

[`read_line_without_trim`]: detect string literal comparison and `.ends_with()` calls

This lint now also realizes that a comparison like `s == "foo"` and calls such as `s.ends_with("foo")` will fail if `s` was initialized by a call to `Stdin::read_line` (because of the trailing newline).

changelog: [`read_line_without_trim`]: detect string literal comparison and `.ends_with()` calls

r? `@giraffate` assigning you because you reviewed #10970 that added this lint, so this is kinda a followup PR ^^
