rustdoc: dedup search form HTML
This change constructs the search form HTML using JavaScript, instead of plain HTML. It uses a custom element because
- the [parser]'s insert algorithm runs the connected callback synchronously, so we won't get layout jank
- it requires very little HTML, so it's a real win in size
[parser]: https://html.spec.whatwg.org/multipage/parsing.html#create-an-element-for-the-token
This shrinks the standard library by about 60MiB, by my test.
There should be no visible changes. Just use less disk space.

Move duplicated code in functions in `tests/rustdoc-gui/notable-trait.goml`
It also allowed me to add some new common test like:
```
assert-position: (
"//*[`@class='tooltip` popover']",
{"x": |popover_x|}
)
```
r? `@notriddle`
It doesn't look quite right, because the lines are too far apart,
and it's not going to be announced by screenreaders as a menu button,
since that's not what the symbol means.
This adds a real tooltip and uses a better drawing of the icon.
This is a redesign of the feature, with parts pulled from
https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/119049
but with a button that looks more like a button and matches the
one used on other sidebar pages.
rustdoc: allow resizing the sidebar / hiding the top bar
Fixes#97306
Preview: http://notriddle.com/rustdoc-html-demo-4/sidebar-resize/std/index.html
## Summary
This feature adds:
1. A checkbox to the Settings popover to hide the persistent navigation bar (the sidebar on large viewports and the top bar on small ones).
2. On large viewports, it adds a resize handle to the persistent sidebar. Resizing it into nothing is equivalent to turning off the persistent navigation bar checkbox in Settings.
3. If the navigation bar is hidden, a toolbar button to the left of the search appears. Clicking it brings the navigation bar back.
## Motivation
While "mobile mode" is definitely a good default, it's not the only reason people have wanted to hide the sidebar:
* Some people use tiling window managers, and don't like rustdoc's current breakpoints. Changing the breakpoints might help with that, but there's no perfect solution, because there's a gap between "huge screen" and "smartphone" where reasonable people can disagree about whether it makes sense for the sidebar to be on-screen. https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/97306
* Some people ask for ways to reduce on-screen clutter because it makes it easier to focus. There's not a media query for that (and if there was, privacy-conscious users would turn it off). https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/59829
This feature is designed to avoid these problems. Resizing the sidebar especially helps, because it provides a way to hide the sidebar without adding a new top-level button (which would add clutter), and it provides a way to make rustdoc play nicer in complex, custom screen layouts.
## Guide and Reference-level explanation
On a desktop or laptop with a mouse, resize the sidebar by dragging its right edge.
On any browser, including mobile phones, the sticky top bar or side bar can be hidden from the Settings area (the button with the cog wheel, next to the search bar). When it's hidden, a convenient button will appear on the search bar's left.
## Drawbacks
This adds more JavaScript code to the render blocking area.
## Rationale and alternatives
The most obvious way to allow people to hide the sidebar would have been to let them "manually enter mobile mode." The upside is that it's a feature we already have. The downside is that it's actually really hard to come up with a terse description. Is it:
* A Setting that forces desktop viewers to always have the mobile-style top bar? If so, how do we label it? Should it be visible on mobile, and, if so, does it just not do anything?
* A persistent hide/show sidebar button, present on desktop, just like on mobile? That's clutter that I'd like to avoid.
## Prior art
* The new file browser in GitHub uses a similar divider with a mouse-over indicator
* mdBook and macOS Finder both allow you to resize the sidebar to nothing as a gesture to hide it

## Future possibilities
https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/266220-rustdoc/topic/Table.20of.20contents proposes a new, second sidebar (a table of contents). How should it fit in with this feature? Should it be resizeable? Hideable? Can it be accessed on mobile?
This is about equally readable, a lot more terse, and stops
special-casing functions and methods.
```console
$ du -hs doc-old/ doc-new/
671M doc-old/
670M doc-new/
```
This is an attempt to balance three problems, each of which would
be violated by a simpler implementation:
- A type alias should show all the `impl` blocks for the target
type, and vice versa, if they're applicable. If nothing was
done, and rustdoc continues to match them up in HIR, this
would not work.
- Copying the target type's docs into its aliases' HTML pages
directly causes far too much redundant HTML text to be generated
when a crate has large numbers of methods and large numbers
of type aliases.
- Using JavaScript exclusively for type alias impl docs would
be a functional regression, and could make some docs very hard
to find for non-JS readers.
- Making sure that only applicable docs are show in the
resulting page requires a type checkers. Do not reimplement
the type checker in JavaScript.
So, to make it work, rustdoc stashes these type-alias-inlined docs
in a JSONP "database-lite". The file is generated in `write_shared.rs`,
included in a `<script>` tag added in `print_item.rs`, and `main.js`
takes care of patching the additional docs into the DOM.
The format of `trait.impl` and `type.impl` JS files are superficially
similar. Each line, except the JSONP wrapper itself, belongs to a crate,
and they are otherwise separate (rustdoc should be idempotent). The
"meat" of the file is HTML strings, so the frontend code is very simple.
Links are relative to the doc root, though, so the frontend needs to fix
that up, and inlined docs can reuse these files.
However, there are a few differences, caused by the sophisticated
features that type aliases have. Consider this crate graph:
```text
---------------------------------
| crate A: struct Foo<T> |
| type Bar = Foo<i32> |
| impl X for Foo<i8> |
| impl Y for Foo<i32> |
---------------------------------
|
----------------------------------
| crate B: type Baz = A::Foo<i8> |
| type Xyy = A::Foo<i8> |
| impl Z for Xyy |
----------------------------------
```
The type.impl/A/struct.Foo.js JS file has a structure kinda like this:
```js
JSONP({
"A": [["impl Y for Foo<i32>", "Y", "A::Bar"]],
"B": [["impl X for Foo<i8>", "X", "B::Baz", "B::Xyy"], ["impl Z for Xyy", "Z", "B::Baz"]],
});
```
When the type.impl file is loaded, only the current crate's docs are
actually used. The main reason to bundle them together is that there's
enough duplication in them for DEFLATE to remove the redundancy.
The contents of a crate are a list of impl blocks, themselves
represented as lists. The first item in the sublist is the HTML block,
the second item is the name of the trait (which goes in the sidebar),
and all others are the names of type aliases that successfully match.
This way:
- There's no need to generate these files for types that have no aliases
in the current crate. If a dependent crate makes a type alias, it'll
take care of generating its own docs.
- There's no need to reimplement parts of the type checker in
JavaScript. The Rust backend does the checking, and includes its
results in the file.
- Docs defined directly on the type alias are dropped directly in the
HTML by `render_assoc_items`, and are accessible without JavaScript.
The JSONP file will not list impl items that are known to be part
of the main HTML file already.
