Doc alias improvements
After [this message](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/50146#issuecomment-496601755), I realized that the **doc alias**. So this PR does the followings:
* Align the alias discovery on items added into the search-index. It brings a few nice advantages:
* Instead of cloning the data between the two (in rustdoc source code), we now have the search-index one and aliases which reference to the first one. So we go from one big map containing a lot of duplicated data to just integers...
* In the front-end (main.js), I improved the code around aliases to allow them to go through the same transformation as other items when we show the search results.
* Improve the search tester in order to perform multiple requests into one file (I think it's better in this case than having a file for each case considering how many there are...)
* I also had to add the new function inside the tester (`handleAliases`)
Once this PR is merged, I intend to finally stabilize this feature.

use is_empty() instead of len comparison (clippy::len_zero)
use if let instead of while let loop that never loops (clippy::never_loop)
remove redundant returns (clippy::needless_return)
remove redundant closures (clippy::redundant_closure)
use if let instead of match and wildcard pattern (clippy::single_match)
don't repeat field names redundantly (clippy::redundant_field_names)
Extend search
I realized that when looking for "struct:String" in the rustdoc search for example, the "in arguments" and "returned" tabs were always empty. After some investigation, I realized it was because we only provided the name, and not the type, making it impossible to pass the "type filtering" check.
To resolve this, I added the type alongside the name. Note for the future: we could improve this by instead only registering the path id and use the path dictionary directly. The only problem with that solution (which I already tested) is that it becomes complicated for types in other crates. It'd force us to handle both case with an id and a case with `(name, type)`. I found the current PR big enough to not want to provide it directly. However, I think this is definitely worth it to make it work this way in the future.
About the two tests I added: they don't have much interest except checking that we actually have something returned in the search in the cases of a type filtering with and without literal search.
I also had to update a bit the test script to add the new locally global (haha) variable I created (`NO_TYPE_FILTER`). I added this variable to make the code easier to read than just "-1".

The purpose of this change is to be able to use it as a tool in docs.rs in order to provide some more stats to crates' owners. Eventually even create a badge or something along the line.

Cleanup `rmeta::MacroDef`
Avoid using rountrip parsing in the encoder and in `fn load_macro_untracked`.
The main reason I was interested in this was to remove `rustc_parse` as a dependency of `rustc_metadata` but it seems like this had other benefits as well.
Fixes#49511.

Remove spotlight
I had a few comments saying that this feature was at best misunderstood or not even used so I decided to organize a poll about on [twitter](https://twitter.com/imperioworld_/status/1232769353503956994). After 87 votes, the result is very clear: it's not useful. Considering the amount of code we have just to run it, I think it's definitely worth it to remove it.
