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.
This Pull Request updates the codebase to the newest version of rustc (1.65.0).
It changes the following:
- Bumps `rust-version` to 1.65.0.
- Rewrites some snippets to use the new let else, ok_or_else and some other utils.
- Removes the `rustdoc::missing_doc_code_examples` allow lint from our codebase. (Context: https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/101732)
This is an experiment that tries to migrate the codebase from eager `Error` objects to lazy ones.
In short words, this redefines `JsResult = Result<JsValue, JsError>`, where `JsError` is a brand new type that stores only the essential part of an error type, and only transforms those errors to `JsObject`s on demand (when having to pass them as arguments to functions or store them inside async/generators).
This change is pretty big, because it unblocks a LOT of code from having to take a `&mut Context` on each call. It also paves the road for possibly making `JsError` a proper variant of `JsValue`, which can be a pretty big optimization for try/catch.
A downside of this is that it exposes some brand new error types to our public API. However, we can now implement `Error` on `JsError`, making our `JsResult` type a bit more inline with Rust's best practices.
~Will mark this as draft, since it's missing some documentation and a lot of examples, but~ it's pretty much feature complete. As always, any comments about the design are very much appreciated!
Note: Since there are a lot of changes which are essentially just rewriting `context.throw` to `JsNativeError::%type%`, I'll leave an "index" of the most important changes here:

This removes all the calls to `unwrap()` in the codebase, which made me found a couple of places where it wasn't needed, and could be improved. I also noticed we don't have dependabot updates for the test262 submodule and the interner dependencies, so I added those.
I added lints so that no new unwraps are added.
This PR adds some Clippy lints. Mainly, it adds the list of pedantic lints excluding some lints that were causing too many warnings. I also denied some useful restriction and pedantic lints, to make sure we use `Self` all the possible times (for better maintainability), and that we pass elements by reference where possible, for example, or that the documentation is properly written.
This might even have some small performance gains.
I also added a perfect hash function for the CLI keywords, which should be more efficient than a `HashSet`. This is something we could use elsewhere too.
This Pull Request is part of #279.
It adds a string interner to Boa, which allows many types to not contain heap-allocated strings, and just contain a `NonZeroUsize` instead. This can move types to the stack (hopefully I'll be able to move `Token`, for example, maybe some `Node` types too.
Note that the internet is for now only available in the lexer. Next steps (in this PR or future ones) would include also using interning in the parser, and finally in execution. The idea is that strings should be represented with a `Sym` until they are displayed.
Talking about display. I have changed the `ParseError` type in order to not contain anything that could contain a `Sym` (basically tokens), which might be a bit faster, but what is important is that we don't depend on the interner when displaying errors.
The issue I have now is in order to display tokens. This requires the interner if we want to know identifiers, for example. The issue here is that Rust doesn't allow using a `fmt::Formatter` (only in nightly), which is making my head hurt. Maybe someone of you can find a better way of doing this.
Then, about `cursor.expect()`, this is the only place where we don't have the expected token type as a static string, so it's failing to compile. We have the option of changing the type definition of `ParseError` to contain an owned string, but maybe we can avoid this by having a `&'static str` come from a `TokenKind` with the default values, such as "identifier" for an identifier. I wanted for you to think about it and maybe we can just add that and avoid allocations there.
Oh, and this depends on the VM-only branch, so that has to be merged before :)
Another thing to check: should the interner be in its own module?
Previously when we had the `context.throw_` methods (like `context.thtrow_type_error()`) they were limited as to where we could call them, e.i. a function that returned `JsResult<JsValue>`. So we had to call the `context.construct_` methods with an explicit `Err()` enum wrap to throw in functions that returned non-jsvalues (which happens a lot).
Now, with this PR the throw methods have a generic `JsResult<R>` return that can return in any `JsResult<T>` returning function. Which cleans the API and makes the user experience a bit better.
```rust
return Err(context.construct_type_error("..."));
// to
return context.throw_type_error("...");
```
* Improved CI workflows
This improves several things in the CI workflows:
- More conformant Test262 result generation
- Benchmarks should now show comments for all users
- Added Test262 result comparison comments to Pull Requests
* Fixed typo
* Checking the comment generation
* Fixing conditions to test comments
* Fix a couple of bugs on the comparator
* Fixed format
* Trying to fix comment updating
* Removing commit autor when searching
* Replace the comment instead of appending
* Switched back to the `pull_request_target` event
