Add a warning ``use-implicit-booleaness-not-comparison`` for comparison with collection literals (#5120)
* Create a new checker; use-implicit-booleanness checker where it looks for boolean evaluatiion with collection literals such as `()`, `[]`, or `{}` * Fixed invalid usage of comparison within pylint package This closes #4774 * Ignore tuples when checking for `literal-comparison` Closes #3031 * Merge len_checker with empty_literal checker Moving empty literal checker with len_checker to avoid class without iterators without boolean expressions (false positive on pandas) Reference: https://github.com/PyCQA/pylint/pull/3821/files * Update `len_checker` and its class `LenChecker` to `ComparisonChecker` to reflect better usage after merging between `len_checker` and `empty_literal_checker` and its tests. * Fixed `consider_using_in` and `consider_iterating_dictionary` tests that were failing due to new empty literal checkers.
