[master] Fix CVE-2021-42574

This PR implements new lints to mitigate the impact of [CVE-2021-42574], caused by the presence of bidirectional-override Unicode codepoints in the compiled source code. [See the advisory][advisory] for more information about the vulnerability.

The changes in this PR will be released in tomorrow's nightly release.
