This Pull Request restructures the lint deny/warn/allow lists in almost all crates. `boa_engine` will be done in a follow up PR as the changes there are pretty extensive.

Not sure if anyone else may be working on something more substantial/in-depth, but I thought I'd post this. 😄
The basic rundown is that this is more of an untested (and in some ways naïve) draft than anything else. It builds rather heavily on `rust-gc`, and tries to keep plenty of the core aspects so as to not break anything too much, and also to minimize overarching changes were it to actually be merged at some point.
This implementation does add ~~a generational divide (although a little unoptimized) to the heap,~~ a GcAlloc/Collector struct with methods, and an ephemeron implementation that allows for the WeakPair and WeakGc pointers.
So, @raskad and myself had a short discussion about the state of #736, and we came to the conclusion that it would be a good time to implement our own string interner; partly because the `string-interner` crate is a bit unmaintained (as shown by https://github.com/Robbepop/string-interner/pull/42 and https://github.com/Robbepop/string-interner/pull/47), and partly because it would be hard to experiment with custom optimizations for UTF-16 strings. I still want to thank @Robbepop for the original implementation though, because some parts of this design have been shamelessly stolen from it 😅.
Having said that, this PR is a complete reimplementation of the interner, but with some modifications to (hopefully!) make it a bit easier to experiment with UTF-16 strings, apply optimizations, and whatnot :)
