This commit tweaks a few stable APIs in the `beta` branch before they hit
stable. The `str::is_whitespace` and `str::is_alphanumeric` functions were
deleted (added in #49381, issue at #49657). The `and_modify` APIs added
in #44734 were altered to take a `FnOnce` closure rather than a `FnMut` closure.

rustdoc: add an --edition flag to compile docs/doctests with a certain edition
To correspond with the 2018 edition, this adds a (currently unstable) `--edition` flag to rustdoc that makes it compile crates and doctests with the given edition. Once this lands, Cargo should be updated to pass this flag when the edition configuration option is given.
rustdoc: move manual "extern crate" statements outside automatic "fn main"s in doctests
Gated on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/48095 - I based the branch atop that so i could show off the change in one of its tests, the actual change in this PR is just the last commit
There are a handful of unfortunate assumptions in the way rustdoc processes `extern crate` statements in doctests:
1. In the absence of an `extern crate` statement in the test, if the test also uses the local crate name, it will automatically insert an `extern crate cratename;` statement into the test.
2. If the doctest *does* include an `extern crate` statement, rustdoc will not automatically insert one, on the assumption that doing so would introduce a duplicate import.
3. If a doctest does not have the substring `fn main` outside a comment, rustdoc will wrap the whole doctest in a generated `fn main` so it can be compiled.
In short, whenever you write a doctest like this...
```rust
//! extern crate my_crate;
//! my_crate::some_cool_thing();
```
...rustdoc will turn it into (something like) this:
```rust
fn main() {
extern crate my_crate;
my_crate::some_cool_thing();
}
```
This creates issues when compiled, because now `my_crate` isn't even properly in scope! This forces people who want to have multiple crates in their doctests (or an explicit `extern crate` statement) to also manually include their own `fn main`, so rustdoc doesn't put their imports in the wrong place.
This PR just taps into another processing step rustdoc does to doctests: Whenever you add an `#![inner_attribute]` to the beginning of a doctest, rustdoc will actually splice those out and put it before the generated `fn main`. Now, we can just do the same with `extern crate`s at the beginning, too, and get a much nicer experience.
Now, the above example will be converted into this:
```rust
extern crate my_crate;
fn main() {
my_crate::some_cool_thing();
}
```
