needless_borrow and explicit_auto_deref false positive with unions

[Arc-blroth]

Summary

Clippy suggests removing explicit &mut and * derefs that are required by RFC 2514 when working with union fields.

Lint Name

needless_borrow and explicit_auto_deref

Reproducer

I tried this code:

use std::mem::ManuallyDrop;

union Coral {
    crab: ManuallyDrop<Vec<i32>>,
}

union Ocean {
    coral: ManuallyDrop<Coral>,
}

fn main() {
    let mut ocean = Ocean {
        coral: ManuallyDrop::new(Coral {
            crab: ManuallyDrop::new(vec![1, 2, 3]),
        }),
    };

    unsafe {
        // this expression borrows a value the compiler would automatically borrow
        ManuallyDrop::drop(&mut (&mut ocean.coral).crab);
        
        // deref which would be done by auto-deref
        (*ocean.coral).crab = ManuallyDrop::new(vec![4, 5, 6]);
        ManuallyDrop::drop(&mut (*ocean.coral).crab);
        
        ManuallyDrop::drop(&mut ocean.coral);
    }
}

I saw this happen:

I expected to see this happen:

No warnings, since both derefs are not automatically done by the compiler.
