Rollup merge of #132642 - GuillaumeGomez:attr-docs, r=compiler-errors

Add documentation on `ast::Attribute`

I was working again with attributes in clippy recently and I often find myself in need to read the source code to ensure it's doing what I want.

Instead, a bit of documentation would allow me (and hopefully others) to skip this step.
