This PR adds a new check that turns expressions such as `[1, 2, 3] + foo` into `[1, 2, 3, *foo]`, since the latter is easier to read and faster:
```
~ $ python3.11 -m timeit -s 'b = [6, 5, 4]' '[1, 2, 3] + b'
5000000 loops, best of 5: 81.4 nsec per loop
~ $ python3.11 -m timeit -s 'b = [6, 5, 4]' '[1, 2, 3, *b]'
5000000 loops, best of 5: 66.2 nsec per loop
```
However there's a couple of gotchas:
* This felt like a `simplify` rule, so I borrowed an unused `SIM` code even if the upstream `flake8-simplify` doesn't do this transform. If it should be assigned some other code, let me know 😄
* **More importantly** this transform could be unsafe if the other operand of the `+` operation has overridden `__add__` to do something else. What's the `ruff` policy around potentially unsafe operations? (I think some of the suggestions other ported rules give could be semantically different from the original code, but I'm not sure.)
* I'm not a very established Rustacean, so there's no doubt my code isn't quite idiomatic. (For instance, is there a neater way to write that four-way `match` statement?)
Thanks for `ruff`, by the way! :)
