Do not trigger ref_patterns lint on automatically derived code

Code marked with `#[automatically_derived]` attribute is macro generated
and its syntax is out of user's control. Since `ref_patterns` is a lint
for clarity, it should not be triggered for auto derived code.

Fixed by converting the lint into a late pass lint and checking the auto
derived attribute using `in_automatically_derived` utility.
