What does this PR try to resolve?

The general policy for hard warnings in Cargo is that a user must have a way to turn it off, like making an implicit value explicit. It turns out, we were not applying that policy to the linting system: before Cargo 1.79, mention of [cargo.lints] is a hard error so if your MSRV is below that then you can't turn off on-by-default lints.

This adds an MSRV to lints and only runs them if the MSRV is high enough. This MSRV then gets propagated to the documentation.
