rustdoc: add flag to control the html_root_url of dependencies The `--extern-html-root-url` flag in this PR allows one to override links to crates whose docs are not already available locally in the doc bundle. Docs.rs currently uses a version of this to make sure links to other crates go into that crate's docs.rs page. See the included test for intended use, but the idea is as follows: Calling rustdoc with `--extern-html-root-url crate=https://some-url.com` will cause rustdoc to override links that point to that crate to instead be replaced with a link rooted at `https://some-url.com/`. (e.g. for docs.rs this would be `https://docs.rs/crate/0.1.0` or the like.) Cheekily, rustup could use these options to redirect links to std/core/etc to instead point to locally-downloaded docs, if it so desired. Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/19603 |

Rust documentations
Building
To generate all the docs, follow the "Building Documentation" instructions in the README in the root of the repository. This will convert the distributed Markdown docs to HTML and generate HTML doc for the books, 'std' and 'extra' libraries.
To generate HTML documentation from one source file/crate, do something like:
rustdoc --output html-doc/ --output-format html ../src/libstd/path.rs
(This, of course, requires a working build of the rustdoc tool.)
Additional notes
To generate an HTML version of a doc from Markdown manually, you can do something like:
rustdoc reference.md
(reference.md being the Rust Reference Manual.)
An overview of how to use the rustdoc command is available in the docs.
Further details are available from the command line by with rustdoc --help.
