Allow #[must_use] on traits

Addresses rust-lang#55506, but we'll probably want to add it to some library traits like `Iterator` before the issue is considered fixed. Fixes rust-lang#51560.

`#[must_use]` is already permitted on traits, with no effect, so this seems like a bug fix, but I might be overlooking something. This currently warns for `impl Trait` or `dyn Trait` when the `Trait` is `#[must_use]` (although I don't think the latter is currently possible, so it's simply future-proofed).
