Distinguish between private items and hidden items in rustdoc
I believe rustdoc should not be conflating private items (visibility lower than `pub`) and hidden items (attribute `doc(hidden)`). This matters now that Cargo is passing --document-private-items by default for bin crates. In bin crates that rely on macros, intentionally hidden implementation details of the macros can overwhelm the actual useful internal API that one would want to document.
This PR restores the strip-hidden pass when documenting private items, and introduces a separate unstable --document-hidden-items option to skip the strip-hidden pass. The two options are orthogonal to one another.
Fixes#67851. Closes#60884.

This should be used when trying to get at subsets of a larger span,
especially when the larger span is not available in the code attempting
to work with those subsets (especially common in the fmt_macros crate).
This is usually a good replacement for (BytePos, BytePos) and (usize,
usize) tuples.
This commit also removes from_inner_byte_pos, since it took usize
arguments, which is error prone.
