Avoid `manual_assert_eq` for byte slice-like types (#17575)
`manual_assert_eq` can produce very large and unhelpful debug output when either operand is a byte buffer. This change skips the lint when an operand's dereference chain reaches `[u8]` or its type implements `AsRef<[u8]>`. Types that also implement `AsRef<str>` remain linted, preserving the current behavior for `String`. The dereference traversal respects the compiler recursion limit so that pathological `Deref` implementations cannot make linting hang or overflow. The existing UI test covers direct slices, standard byte-buffer wrappers, custom `Deref` and `AsRef<[u8]>` types, pathological dereference chains, and the existing non-byte and string diagnostics. Fixes rust-lang/rust-clippy#17524 changelog: [`manual_assert_eq`]: avoid linting comparisons involving byte slice-like types ## Testing - `cargo fmt --all -- --check` - `TESTNAME=manual_assert_eq cargo uitest` - `cargo test`
