Description

Description

With the exception of string_add, string_add_assign and string_slice (which share an implementation), all lints in strings.rs could be moved into the methods module in order to share the tree traversal with other method call and function call lints.

Contributor guide

Research direction
Open the clippy lints/src/strings.rs file, identify lints except string add, string add assign, and string slice. Move them to the methods module, following the existing pattern. Ensure imports and module declarations are updated.
