rustdoc-search: tighter encoding for f index
Depends on https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/119457
Two optimizations for the function signature search:
* Instead of using JSON arrays, like `[1,20]`, it uses VLQ
hex with no commas, like `[aAd]`.
* This also adds backrefs: if you have more than one function
with exactly the same signature, it'll not only store it once,
it'll *decode* it once, and store in the typeIdMap only once.
Based partially on discussions on zulip:

Size change

standard library without gzip:
```console
$ du -bs search-index-old.js search-index-new.js
4976370 search-index-old.js
4404391 search-index-new.js
```
((4976370-4404391)/4404391)*100% = 12.9%
with gzip:
```console
$ du -hs search-index-old.js.gz search-index-new.js.gz
520K search-index-old.js.gz
504K search-index-new.js.gz
$ du -bs search-index-old.js.gz search-index-new.js.gz
522092 search-index-old.js.gz
507654 search-index-new.js.gz
```
((522092-507654)/507654)*100% = 2.8%
Benchmarks are similarly shrunk.
