Description
Unlocked stdio read/writes can be extremely inefficient. I propose adding a lint to clippy-pedantic, which detects unlocked stdio operations, and warns on them.

Start by reviewing rust-clippy's existing lint structure and how lints are registered and tested. Identify the stdio operations that are unlocked, then add a warning for those operations and verify that the lint detects them without flagging locked alternatives.
