rustdoc: Fix duplicated impls with generics
The same type can appear multiple times in impls so we need to use a set
to avoid adding it multiple times.
Fixes: #45584
Copy all `AsciiExt` methods to the primitive types directly in order to deprecate it later
**EDIT:** [this PR is ready now](https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/44042#issuecomment-333883548). I edited this post to reflect the current status of discussion, which is (apart from code review) pretty much settled.
---
This is my current progress in order to prepare stabilization of #39658. As discussed there (and in #39659), the idea is to deprecated `AsciiExt` and copy all methods to the type directly. Apparently there isn't really a reason to have those methods in an extension trait¹.
~~This is **work in progress**: copy&pasting code while slightly modifying the documentation isn't the most exciting thing to do. Therefore I wanted to already open this WIP PR after doing basically 1/4 of the job (copying methods to `&[u8]`, `char` and `&str` is still missing) to get some feedback before I continue. Some questions possibly worth discussing:~~
1. ~~Does everyone agree that deprecating `AsciiExt` is a good idea? Does everyone agree with the goal of this PR?~~ => apparently yes
2. ~~Are my changes OK so far? Did I do something wrong?~~
3. ~~The issue of the unstable-attribute is currently set to 0. I would wait until you say "Ok" to the whole thing, then create a tracking issue and then insert the correct issue id. Is that ok?~~
4. ~~I tweaked `eq_ignore_ascii_case()`: it now takes the argument `other: u8` instead of `other: &u8`. The latter was enforced by the trait. Since we're not bound to a trait anymore, we can drop the reference, ok?~~ => I reverted this, because the interface has to match the `AsciiExt` interface exactly.
¹ ~~Could it be that we can't write `impl [u8] {}`? This might be the reason for `AsciiExt`. If that is the case: is there a good reason we can't write such an impl block? What can we do instead?~~ => we couldn't at the time this PR was opened, but Simon made it possible.

Many AsciiExt imports have become useless thanks to the inherent ascii
methods added in the last commits. These were removed. In some places, I
fully specified the ascii method being called to enforce usage of the
AsciiExt trait. Note that some imports are not removed but tagged with
a `#[cfg(stage0)]` attribute. This is necessary, because certain ascii
methods are not yet available in stage0. All those imports will be
removed later.
Additionally, failing tests were fixed. The test suite should exit
successfully now.
DefaultImpl is a highly confusing name for what we now call auto impls,
as in `impl Send for ..`. The name auto impl is not formally decided
but for sanity anything is better than `DefaultImpl` which refers
neither to `default impl` nor to `impl Default`.
some low-hanging rustdoc optimizations
There were a few discussions earlier today in #rust-internals about the syscall usage and overall performance of rustdoc. This PR is intended to pick some low-hanging fruit and try to rein in some of the performance issues of rustdoc.
let rustdoc print the crate version into docs
This PR adds a new unstable flag to rustdoc, `--crate-version`, which when present will add a new entry to the sidebar of the root module, printing the given version number:
Closes#24336
(The WIP status is because i don't want to merge this until i can get the std docs to use it, which i need help from rustbuild people to make sure i get right.)
hide internal types/traits from std docs via new #[doc(masked)] attribute
Fixes#43701 (hopefully for good this time)
This PR introduces a new parameter to the `#[doc]` attribute that rustdoc looks for on `extern crate` statements. When it sees `#[doc(masked)]` on such a statement, it hides traits and types from that crate from appearing in either the "Trait Implementations" section of many type pages, or the "Implementors" section of trait pages. This is then applied to the `libc`/`rand`/`compiler_builtins` imports in libstd to prevent those crates from creating broken links in the std docs.
Like in #43348, this also introduces a feature gate, `doc_masked`, that controls the use of this parameter.
