Clarify the 'use a constant in a pattern' error message
```rs
use std::borrow::Cow;
const ERROR_CODE: Cow<'_, str> = Cow::Borrowed("23505");
fn main() {
let x = Cow::from("23505");
match x {
ERROR_CODE => {}
}
}
```
```
error: to use a constant of type `Cow` in a pattern, `Cow` must be annotated with `#[derive(PartialEq, Eq)]`
--> src/main.rs:9:9
|
9 | ERROR_CODE => {}
| ^^^^^^^^^^
error: could not compile `playground` due to previous error
```
It seems helpful to link to StructuralEq in this message. I was a little confused, because `Cow<'_, str>` implements PartialEq and Eq, but they're not derived, which I learned is necessary for structural equality and using constants in patterns (thanks to the Rust community Discord server)
For tests, should I update every occurrence of this message? I see tests where this is still a warning and I'm not sure if I should update those.
