#[must_use] for associated functions is supposed to actually work

In the comments of (closed, defunct) pull request #54884, Mazdak
"Centril" Farrokhzad noted that must-use annotations didn't work on an
associated function (what other communities might call a "static
method"). Subsequent logging revealed that in this case we have a
`Def::Method`, whereas the lint pass was only matching on
`Def::Fn`. (One could argue that those def-names are thereby
misleading—must-use for self-ful methods have always worked—but
documenting or reworking that can be left to another day.)
