issue a future-compat lint for constants of invalid type

This is a [breaking-change]: according to RFC #1445, constants used as
patterns must be of a type that *derives* `Eq`. If you encounter a
problem, you are most likely using a constant in an expression where the
type of the constant is some struct that does not currently implement
`Eq`. Something like the following:

```rust
struct SomeType { ... }
const SOME_CONST: SomeType = ...;

match foo {
    SOME_CONST => ...
}
```

The easiest and most future compatible fix is to annotate the type in
question with `#[derive(Eq)]` (note that merely *implementing* `Eq` is
not enough, it must be *derived*):

```rust
struct SomeType { ... }
const SOME_CONST: SomeType = ...;

match foo {
    SOME_CONST => ...
}
```

Another good option is to rewrite the match arm to use an `if`
condition (this is also particularly good for floating point types,
which implement `PartialEq` but not `Eq`):

```rust
match foo {
    c if c == SOME_CONST => ...
}
```

Finally, a third alternative is to tag the type with
`#[structural_match]`; but this is not recommended, as the attribute is
never expected to be stabilized. Please see RFC #1445 for more details.
