Stabilize `custom_code_classes_in_docs` feature
Fixes#79483.
This feature has been around for quite some time now, I think it's fine to stabilize it now.
## Summary
## What is the feature about?
In short, this PR changes two things, both related to codeblocks in doc comments in Rust documentation:
* Allow to disable generation of `language-*` CSS classes with the `custom` attribute.
* Add your own CSS classes to a code block so that you can use other tools to highlight them.
#### The `custom` attribute
Let's start with the new `custom` attribute: it will disable the generation of the `language-*` CSS class on the generated HTML code block. For example:
```rust
/// ```custom,c
/// int main(void) {
/// return 0;
/// }
/// ```
```
The generated HTML code block will not have `class="language-c"` because the `custom` attribute has been set. The `custom` attribute becomes especially useful with the other thing added by this feature: adding your own CSS classes.
#### Adding your own CSS classes
The second part of this feature is to allow users to add CSS classes themselves so that they can then add a JS library which will do it (like `highlight.js` or `prism.js`), allowing to support highlighting for other languages than Rust without increasing burden on rustdoc. To disable the automatic `language-*` CSS class generation, you need to use the `custom` attribute as well.
This allow users to write the following:
```rust
/// Some code block with `{class=language-c}` as the language string.
///
/// ```custom,{class=language-c}
/// int main(void) {
/// return 0;
/// }
/// ```
fn main() {}
```
This will notably produce the following HTML:
```html
<pre class="language-c">
int main(void) {
return 0;
}</pre>
```
Instead of:
```html
<pre class="rust rust-example-rendered">
<span class="ident">int</span> <span class="ident">main</span>(<span class="ident">void</span>) {
<span class="kw">return</span> <span class="number">0</span>;
}
</pre>
```
To be noted, we could have written `{.language-c}` to achieve the same result. `.` and `class=` have the same effect.
One last syntax point: content between parens (`(like this)`) is now considered as comment and is not taken into account at all.
In addition to this, I added an `unknown` field into `LangString` (the parsed code block "attribute") because of cases like this:
```rust
/// ```custom,class:language-c
/// main;
/// ```
pub fn foo() {}
```
Without this `unknown` field, it would generate in the DOM: `<pre class="language-class:language-c language-c">`, which is quite bad. So instead, it now stores all unknown tags into the `unknown` field and use the first one as "language". So in this case, since there is no unknown tag, it'll simply generate `<pre class="language-c">`. I added tests to cover this.
EDIT(camelid): This description is out-of-date. Using `custom,class:language-c` will generate the output `<pre class="language-class:language-c">` as would be expected; it treats `class:language-c` as just the name of a language (similar to the langstring `c` or `js` or what have you) since it does not use the designed class syntax.
Finally, I added a parser for the codeblock attributes to make it much easier to maintain. It'll be pretty easy to extend.
As to why this syntax for adding attributes was picked: it's [Pandoc's syntax](https://pandoc.org/MANUAL.html#extension-fenced_code_attributes). Even if it seems clunkier in some cases, it's extensible, and most third-party Markdown renderers are smart enough to ignore Pandoc's brace-delimited attributes (from [this comment](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/110800#issuecomment-1522044456)).

rustdoc: Clarify const-stability with regard to normal stability
Fixes#125511.
- Elide const-unstable if also unstable overall
- Show "const" for const-unstable if also overall unstable
If a const function is unstable overall (and thus, in all circumstances
I know of, also const-unstable), we should show the option to use it as
const. You need to enable a feature to use the function at all anyway.
If the function is stabilized without also being const-stabilized, then
we do not show the const keyword and instead show "const: unstable" in
the version info.
It's confusing because if a function is unstable overall, there's no
need to highlight the constness is also unstable. Technically, these
attributes (overall stability and const-stability) are separate, but in
practice, we don't even show the const-unstable's feature flag (it's
normally the same as the overall function).
To decide if internal items should be inlined in a doc page,
check if the crate is itself internal, rather than if it has
the rustc_private feature flag. The standard library uses
internal items, but is not itself internal and should not show
internal items on its docs pages.
Correctly handle inlining of doc hidden foreign items
Fixes#123435.
In case a foreign item has doc(hidden) attribute, we simply merged its attributes with the re-export's, making it being removed once in the `strip_hidden` pass.
The solution was to use the same as for local reexported items: merge attributes, but not some of them (like `doc(hidden)`).
I originally checked if we could simply update `Item::is_doc_hidden` method to use `self.inline_stmt_id.is_some_and(|def_id| tcx.is_doc_hidden(def_id))` but unfortunately, it added (local) items that shouldn't be inlined. At least it unifies local and foreign items inlining, which I think is the best course of action here.

## Description
r? `@GuillaumeGomez`
The descriptions are, on almost all crates[^1], the majority of the size of the search index, even though they aren't really used for searching. This makes it relatively easy to separate them into their own files.
Additionally, this PR pulls out information about whether there's a description into a bitmap. This allows us to sort, truncate, *then* download.
This PR also bumps us to ES8. Out of the browsers we support, all of them support async functions according to caniuse.
https://caniuse.com/async-functions
[^1]:
<https://microsoft.github.io/windows-docs-rs/>, a crate with
44MiB of pure names and no descriptions for them, is an outlier
and should not be counted. But this PR should improve it, by replacing a long line of empty strings with a compressed bitmap with a single Run section. Just not very much.
## Detailed sizes

```
These are, roughly, the size of each section in the standard library (this tool actually excludes libtest, for parsing-json-with-awk reasons, but libtest is tiny so it's probably not important).
t = item type, like "struct", "free fn", or "type alias". Since one byte is used for every item, this implies that there are approximately 64 thousand items in the standard library.
n = name, and that's now the largest section of the search index with the descriptions removed from it
q = parent *module* path, stored parallel to the items within
D = the size of each description shard, stored as vlq hex numbers
e = empty description bit flags, stored as a roaring bitmap
i = parent *type* index as a link into `p`, stored as decimal json numbers; used only for associated types; might want to switch to vlq hex, since that's shorter, but that would be a separate pr
f = function signature, stored as lists of lists that index into `p`
c = deprecation flag, stored as a roaring bitmap
p = parent *type*, stored separately and linked into from `i` and `f`
a = alias, as [[key, value]] pairs

This perf tester is janky and unscientific enough that the apparent differences might just be noise. If it's not an order of magnitude, it's probably not real.
## Future possibilities
* Currently, results are not shown until the descriptions are downloaded. Theoretically, the description-less results could be shown. But actually doing that, and making sure it works properly, would require extra work (we have to be careful to avoid layout jumps).
* More than just descriptions can be sharded this way. But we have to be careful to make sure the size wins are worth the round trips. Ideally, data that’s needed only for display should be sharded while data needed for search isn’t.
* [Full text search](https://internals.rust-lang.org/t/full-text-search-for-rustdoc-and-doc-rs/20427) also needs this kind of infrastructure. A good implementation might store a compressed bloom filter in the search index, then download the full keyword in shards. But, we have to be careful not just of the amount readers have to download, but also of the amount that [publishers](https://gist.github.com/notriddle/c289e77f3ed469d1c0238d1d135d49e1) have to store.

rustdoc: fix up old test
`tests/rustdoc/line-breaks.rs` had several issues:
1. It used `//`@count`` instead of `// `@count`` (notice the space!) which gets treated as a `ui_test` directive instead of a `htmldocck` one. `compiletest` didn't flag it as an error because it's allowlisted ([#121561](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/121561)) presumably precisely because of this test. And before the compiletest→ui_test migration, these directives must've been ignored, too, because …
2. … the checks themselves no longer work either: The count of `<br>`s is actually 0 in all 3 cases because – well – we no longer generate any `<br>`s inside `<pre>`s.
Since I don't know how to ``@count`` `\n`s instead of `<br>`s, I've turned them into ``@matches`.` Btw, I don't know if this test is still desirable or if we have other tests that cover this (I haven't checked).

Expose the Freeze trait again (unstably) and forbid implementing it manually

This trait is useful for generic constants (associated consts of generic traits). See the test (`tests/ui/associated-consts/freeze.rs`) added in this PR for a usage example. The builtin `Freeze` trait is the only way to do it, users cannot work around this issue.
It's also a useful trait for building some very specific abstrations, as shown by the usage by the `zerocopy` crate: https://github.com/google/zerocopy/issues/941

Seems add `rustfmt` for this is somehow too heavy,
