Description

In optional, I have both the standard derived Eq and Hash, plus one extra Eq impls on references for improved ergonomics. However, this additional Eq' impl triggers the derive_hash_xor_eq` lint. So perhaps the lint should look for existing derived implementations to avoid this false positive.

Research direction

Locate the derive_hash_xor_eq lint and its existing tests, then reproduce the multiple-Eq implementation pattern described in the issue. Add coverage for the derived Eq and Hash implementations plus the extra reference Eq impl; done means this case is no longer reported as a false positive.
