Reenable linkchecker for books
In some senses, this is a revert of https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/39633/commits/cacb3bc9c741a7d41a1085af850cd3ff852307f5#diff-b64563d143f859565c8357a28ef81101R212; we disabled linkchecker for the book because the links were added by JavaScript. Now, that's fixed upstream, and so we can re-enable the checker.
This also involves two other fixes: we have to check for `name`s as well as `id`s for links, and the linking algorithm of mdBook changed to the same as rustdoc's, so we change some links back.
~~~This isn't quite ready yet; it's [depending on a PR of mine to mdBook](https://github.com/azerupi/mdBook/pull/209). After that's released, this should be the last of these kinds of shenanigans~~~ 😄
This is good to go 😄
Rust Book: Generics: Resolving ambiguities
- Add a small section to generics.md to explain how ambiguities in type inference can be resolved using the `::<>` syntax.
- Add links from syntax-index.md and iterators.md.
- Minor edits to iterators.md and structs.md.
This reverts commit 7f1d1c6d9a.
The original commit was created because mdBook and rustdoc had
different generation algorithms for header links; now with
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/39966 , the algorithms
are the same. So let's undo this change.
... when I came across this problem, I said "eh, this isn't fun,
but it doesn't take that long." I probably should have just actually
taken the time to fix upstream, given that they were amenable. Oh
well!

Correct a typo in procedural macros chapter of the Book.
A simple and short correction for procedural macros chapter of the Rust Programming Language Book.
The use of a GNU C extension for bloc expressions is immaterial to the
actual problem with C macros that the section tries to show so don’t
use it and instead use a plain C way of writing the macro.
mdbook has a lot of optional dependencies that we don't want, so instead
of using it directly, we re-build rustbook to use mdbook as a library.
For convenience' sake, we keep the same CLI interface as mdbook; the
only difference is that it only accepts build and test subcommands,
rather than the full range.
Fix short hand struct doc
Don't want to discredit @hngiang effort on this issue.
I just want to lend a hand to fix this issue #38830, it is a very nice feature and is seemingly completed.
Fixes#39096
