Rollup merge of rust-lang#43776 - zackmdavis:feature_gate_fn_must_use, r=alexcrichton

feature-gate #[must_use] for functions as `fn_must_use`

@eddyb I [was](rust-lang#43728 (comment)) [dithering](rust-lang#43728 (comment)) on this, but [your comment](rust-lang#43302 (comment)) makes it sound like we do want a feature gate for this? Please advise.
