to retrieve a type from a pattern.

Two noticeable items here:
- `cx` is the lint context [`LateContext`][LateContext].
The two most useful data structures in this context are `tcx` and `tables`,
allowing us to jump to type definitions and other compilation stages such as HIR.
- `tables` is [`TypeckResults`][TypeckResults] and is created by type checking step,
it includes useful information such as types of expressions, ways to resolve methods and so on.
- `cx` is the lint context [`LateContext`][LateContext]. The two most useful
data structures in this context are `tcx` and the `TypeckResults` returned by
`LateContext::typeck_results`, allowing us to jump to type definitions and
other compilation stages such as HIR.
- `typeck_results`'s return value is [`TypeckResults`][TypeckResults] and is
created by type checking step, it includes useful information such as types
of expressions, ways to resolve methods and so on.
