1. dead-code lint: say "constructed" for structs …

   This is a sequel to November 2017's rust-lang#46103 / 1a9dc2e. It had been
   reported (more than once—at least rust-lang#19140, rust-lang#44083, and rust-lang#44565) that the
   "never used" language was confusing for enum variants that were "used"
   as match patterns, so the wording was changed to say never
   "constructed" specifically for enum variants. More recently, the same
   issue was raised for structs (rust-lang#52325). It seems consistent to say
   "constructed" here, too, for the same reasons.
   
   We considered using more specific word "called" for unused functions
   and methods (while we declined to do this in rust-lang#46103, the rationale
   given in the commit message doesn't actually make sense), but it turns
   out that Cargo's test suite expects the "never used" message, and
   maybe we don't care enough even to make a Cargo PR over such a petty
   and subjective wording change.
   
   This resolves rust-lang#52325.
