Introducing CArrayToPtrAssignment gadget and implementing fixits for some cases of array being assigned to pointer.
Key observations:
Fixits are implemented for cases where one of the variables in the assignment is safe. For assignment of a safe array to unsafe pointer we know that the RHS will never be transformed since it's safe and can immediately emit the optimal fixit. Similarly for assignment of unsafe array to safe pointer. (Obviously this is not and can't be future-proof in regards to what variables we consider unsafe and that is fine.)
Fixits for assignment from unsafe array to unsafe pointer (from Array to Span strategy) are not implemented in this patch as that needs to be properly designed first - we might possibly implement optimal fixits for partially transformed cases, put both variables in a single fixit group or do something else.
