rustdoc: improve diagnostics on raw doc fragments

1. rustdoc::bare_urls doesn't output
   invalid suggestions if source_span_for_markdown_range
   fails to find a span

2. source_span_for_markdown_range tries harder to
   return a span by applying an additional diagnostic

fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/135851
