Allow absolute_paths to be configured based on occurrence #16574
Description
Description
I like the idea of absolute_paths but my heuristic I generally use is if something is used once or twice can remain as an absolute path.
Namely, support impls that are gated by #[cfg(feature = "")] impl MyCrateTrait for some::foreign::Type {}. Especially with a large workspace, specifying the allowed crate prefixes means that all occurrences of this type workspace-wide will now get excluded by the rule, or I have to do an #[expect()] attribute on all of them.
What I'd really like is to specify absolute-paths-max-occurrences = 2 in my clippy.toml to say "if this absolute path is used more than twice in a given file, it should trigger an absolute_paths warning".
