Fix `possible_missing_comma` false positives

`possible_missing_comma` should only trigger when the binary operator has
unary equivalent. Otherwise, it's not possible to insert a comma without
breaking compilation. The operators identified were `+`, `&`, `*` and `-`.

This fixes the specific examples given in issues #3244 and #3396
but doesn't address the conflict this lint has with the style of starting
a line with a binary operator.
