Warn about unused `pub` fields in non-`pub` structs
This pull request fixes#85255. The current implementation of dead code analysis is too prudent because it marks all `pub` fields of structs as live, even though they cannot be accessed from outside of the current crate if the struct itself only has restricted or private visibility.
I have changed this behavior to take the containing struct's visibility into account when looking at field visibility and liveness. This also makes dead code warnings more consistent; consider the example given in #85255:
```rust
struct Foo {
a: i32,
pub b: i32,
}
struct Bar;
impl Bar {
fn a(&self) -> i32 { 5 }
pub fn b(&self) -> i32 { 6 }
}
fn main() {
let _ = Foo { a: 1, b: 2 };
let _ = Bar;
}
```
Current nightly already warns about `Bar::b()`, even though it is `pub` (but `Bar` is not). It should therefore also warn about `Foo::b`, which it does with the changes in this PR.
