added string_add lint and fixed string_add_assign + test

README.md

@@ -30,6 +30,7 @@ Lints included in this crate:
  - `collapsible_if`: Warns on cases where two nested `if`-expressions can be collapsed into one, e.g. `if x { if y { foo() } }` can be written as `if x && y { foo() }`
  - `zero_width_space`: Warns on encountering a unicode zero-width space
  - `string_add_assign`: Warns on `x = x + ..` where `x` is a `String` and suggests using `push_str(..)` instead.
+ - `string_add`: Matches `x + ..` where `x` is a `String` and where `string_add_assign` doesn't warn. Allowed by default.
  - `needless_return`: Warns on using `return expr;` when a simple `expr` would suffice.
  - `let_and_return`: Warns on doing `let x = expr; x` at the end of a function.
  - `option_unwrap_used`: Warns when `Option.unwrap()` is used, and suggests `.expect()`.
