Only split doctest lang strings on `,`, ` `, and `\t`. Additionally, to
preserve backwards compatibility with pandoc-style langstrings, strip a
surrounding `{}`, and remove leading `.`s from each token.
Prior to this change, doctest lang strings were split on all
non-alphanumeric characters except `-` or `_`, which limited future
extensions to doctest lang string tokens, for example using `=` for
key-value tokens.
This is a breaking change, although it is not expected to be disruptive,
because lang strings using separators other than `,` and ` ` are not
very common
Previously Markdown documentation was not rendered to HTML for search results,
which led to the output not being very readable, particularly for inline code.
This PR fixes that by rendering Markdown to HTML with the help of pulldown-cmark
(the library rustdoc uses to parse Markdown for the main text of documentation).
However, the text for the title attribute (the text shown when you hover over an
element) still uses the plain-text rendering since it is displayed in browsers
as plain-text.
Only these styles will be rendered; everything else is stripped away:
* *italics*
* **bold**
* `inline code`

Unfortunately this is not quite ready to go because the newly-working links trigger a bunch of linkcheck failures. The failures are tough to fix because the links are resolved relative to the implementor, which could be anywhere in the module hierarchy.
(In the current docs, these links end up rendering as uninterpreted markdown syntax, so I don't think these failures are any worse than the status quo. It might be acceptable to just add them to the linkchecker whitelist.)
Ideally this could be fixed with intra-doc links ~~but it isn't working for me: I am currently investigating if it's possible to solve it this way.~~ Opened #73829.
EDIT: This is now ready!
