Split redundant_closure lint

Move the method checking into a new lint called
`redundant_closures_for_method_calls` and put it in the pedantic group.

This aspect of the lint seems more controversial than the rest.

cc #3942

changelog: Move method checking from `redundant_closure` to a new `pedantic` lint called `redundant_closure_for_method_calls`.
