Refactor useless_vec lint

[y21]

Currently there's an "implicit" invariant in this lint's code, which has been bugging me for a while (but especially so because I recently wanted to extend this lint): when we see a vec![] expression that we can't suggest changing to an array because of surrounding expressions (e.g. it's passed to a function that requires a Vec), we must insert that into this self.span_to_lint_map map with None.

See FP issue #11861 for the motivating example of why this lint is doing that (and the doc comment in the code I added).

This invariant is really easy to miss and error prone: in the old code, every other } else { branch needed a self.span_to_lint_map.insert(.., None) call.

This PR moves out the logic that checks if an expression needs to be a vec based on its surrounding environment. This way we can cover all cases with one else at its callsite and only need to insert None in one isolated place.

I was also working on extending this lint with another pattern, where refactoring the "does this expression need to be a vec or does a slice work too" into its own function would be very convenient.

(Tbh, I don't think this invariant/FP actually matters much in practice, because it's a bit of an edge case IMO. I don't think it's really worth all the complexity (even though I was the one to suggest how we could fix this in the linked issue). This is also already an issue with every other lint that can change an expression's type. I also don't know if this is compatible with "incremental lints", which IIUC work per-module (I know that MSRV handling recently had to change due to that). In any case, I just decided to keep it for now so that this is purely an internal refactor without user facing changes.)
