Adam Perry @ OpenAI 52db447c77 lint: allow self-documenting builder arguments (#27507)
Builder-style setters often repeat the setting name in both the method
and its sole argument. Calls such as `.enabled(false)` are already
self-documenting, so requiring `/*enabled*/` adds noise without
clarifying the call.

## What changed

- Exempt a method's sole non-self argument when its resolved parameter
name matches the method name.
- Continue validating any explicit argument comment against the resolved
parameter name.
- Continue requiring comments when method and parameter names differ or
when a method has multiple non-self arguments.
- Document the exception in `AGENTS.md` and the lint's own behavior
documentation.

## Examples

Before this change we'd need redundant comments like this:

```rust
builder.enabled(/*false*/ false);
builder.retry_count(/*retry_count*/ 3);
builder.base_url(/*base_url*/ None);
```

Now can be written like this:

```rust
builder.enabled(false);
builder.retry_count(3);
builder.base_url(None);
```

Still disallowed:

```rust
client.set_flag(true); // Method name does not match parameter `enabled`.
options.enabled(false, /*retry_count*/ 3); // More than one non-self argument.
options.enabled(/*value*/ false); // Explicit comment does not match `enabled`.
```

## Validation

Added UI coverage for boolean, numeric, and `None` builder arguments,
multi-argument methods, and explicit comment mismatches. Ran `rustup run
nightly-2025-09-18 cargo test` in `tools/argument-comment-lint`.
