[panic_in_result_fn] Configure allowed panics

[JP-Ellis]

Description

I personally like the brevity of ? in tests, which requires the test function to return a Result<...>.

At the same time, I also find the pretty_assertions crate particularly useful when verifying equality, despite them internally using panics.

It would be nice to complement/enhance the panic_in_result_fn lint by allowing for certain macros. For example in my case, specifically whitelisting the pretty_assertions::assert_* macros.

What are people's views on this?
