12dc24f460 rustdoc-search: simplify rules for generics and type params
This commit is a response to feedback on the displayed type
signatures results, by making generics act stricter.

Generics are tightened by making order significant. This means
`Vec<Allocator>` now matches only with a true vector of allocators,
instead of matching the second type param. It also makes unboxing
within generics stricter, so `Result<A, B>` only matches if `B`
is in the error type and `A` is in the success type. The top level
of the function search is unaffected.

7b926555b7 rustdoc-search: add search query syntax Fn(T) -> U
This is implemented, in addition to the ML-style one,
because Rust does it. If we don't, we'll never hear the end of it.

This commit also refactors some duplicate parts of the parser
into a dedicated function.

7f427f86bd rustdoc-search: parse and search with ML-style HOF
Option::map, for example, looks like this:

    option<t>, (t -> u) -> option<u>

This syntax searches all of the HOFs in Rust: traits Fn, FnOnce,
and FnMut, and bare fn primitives.
