Add `special_module_name` lint

Declaring `lib` as a module is one of the most common beginner mistakes when trying to setup a binary and library target in the same crate. `special_module_name` lints against it, as well as `mod main;`
```
warning: found module declaration for main.rs
  --> $DIR/special_module_name.rs:4:1
   |
LL | mod main;
   | ^^^^^^^^^
   |
   = note: a binary crate cannot be used as library

warning: found module declaration for lib.rs
  --> $DIR/special_module_name.rs:1:1
   |
LL | mod lib;
   | ^^^^^^^^
   |
   = note: `#[warn(special_module_name)]` on by default
   = note: lib.rs is the root of this crate's library target
   = help: to refer to it from other targets, use the library's name as the path
   ```

Note that the help message is not the best in that it doesn't provide an example of an import path (`the_actual_crate_name::`), and doesn't check whether the current file is part of a library/binary target to provide more specific error messages. I'm not sure where this lint would have to be run to access that information.

/// The `special_module_name` lint detects module
/// declarations for files that have a special meaning.
///
/// ### Example
///
/// ```rust,compile_fail
/// mod lib;
///
/// fn main() {
/// lib::run();
/// }
/// ```
///
/// {{produces}}
///
/// ### Explanation
///
/// Cargo recognizes `lib.rs` and `main.rs` as the root of a
/// library or binary crate, so declaring them as modules
/// will lead to miscompilation of the crate unless configured
/// explicitly.
///
/// To access a library from a binary target within the same crate,
/// use `your_crate_name::` as the path path instead of `lib::`:
///
/// ```rust,compile_fail
/// // bar/src/lib.rs
/// fn run() {
/// // ...
/// }
///
/// // bar/src/main.rs
/// fn main() {
/// bar::run();
/// }
/// ```
///
/// Binary targets cannot be used as libraries and so declaring
/// one as a module is not allowed.
