rustdoc: Align search results horizontally for easy scanning
The recent PR #110688 added info about an item's kind before its name in
search results. However, because the kind and name are inline with no
alignment, it's now hard to visually scan downward through the search
results, looking at item names. This PR fixes that by horizontally
aligning search results such that there are now two columns of
information.

This makes "existential type" look slightly cramped (though still
readable), but it makes all other typenames look better. Existential
types are currently very rare, and we can always tweak this later if
necessary.

[rustdoc] Fix invalid handling of "going back in history" when "go to only search result" setting is enabled
You can test the fix [here](https://rustdoc.crud.net/imperio/back-in-history-fix/lib2/index.html). Enable "Directly go to item in search if there is only one result", then search for `HasALongTraitWithParams` and finally go back to previous page. It should be back on the `index.html` page.
The reason for this bug is that the JS state is cached as is, so when we go back to the page, it resumes where it was left, somewhat (very weird), meaning the search is run again etc. The best way to handle this is to force the JS re-execution in this case so that it doesn't try to resume from where it left and then lead us back to the current page.

rustdoc: Add search result item types after their name
Here what it looks like:
The idea is to improve accessibility by providing this information directly in the text and not only in the text color. Currently we already use it for doc aliases and for primitive types, so I extended it to all types.

rustdoc-search: clean up type unification and "unboxing"
This PR redesigns parameter matching, return matching, and generics matching to use a single function that compares two lists of types.
It also makes the algorithms more consistent, so the "unboxing" behavior where `Vec<i32>` is considered a match for `i32` works inside generics, and not just at the top level.
This feature extends rustdoc to support the syntax that most users will
naturally attempt to use to search for diverging functions.
Part of #60485
It's already possible to do this search with `primitive:never`, but
that's not what the Rust language itself uses, so nobody will try it if
they aren't told or helped along.
Designing a good hover microinteraction is a matter of guessing
user intent from what are, literally, vague gestures. In this case,
guessing if hovering in our out of the tooltip base is intentional
or not.
To figure this out, a few different techniques are used:
* When the mouse pointer enters a tooltip anchor point, its hitbox
is grown on the bottom, where the popover is/will appear. This was
already there before this commit: search "hover tunnel" in
rustdoc.css for the implementation.
* This commit adds a delay when the mouse pointer enters the base
anchor, in case the mouse pointer was just passing through and the
user didn't want to open it.
* This commit also adds a delay when the mouse pointer exits the
tooltip's base anchor or its popover, before hiding it.
* A fade-out animation is layered onto the pointer exit delay to
immediately inform the user that they successfully dismissed the
popover, while still providing a way for them to cancel it if
it was a mistake and they still wanted to interact with it.
* No animation is used for revealing it, because we don't want
people to try to interact with an element while it's in the
middle of fading in: either they're allowed to interact with
it while it's fading in, meaning it can't serve as mistake-
proofing for opening the popover, or they can't, but they
might try and be frustrated.
