Rollup merge of #82261 - ojeda:rustdoc-argfile, r=jyn514

rustdoc: Support argument files

Factors out the `rustc_driver` logic that handles argument files so that rustdoc supports them as well, e.g.:

    rustdoc `@argfile`

This is needed to be able to generate docs for projects that already use argument files when compiling them, e.g. projects that pass a huge number of `--cfg` arguments.

The feature was stabilized for `rustc` in #66172.

 When `rustdoc` receives this flag, it will print an extra "Version (version)" into the sidebar of
 the crate root's docs. You can use this flag to differentiate between different versions of your
 library's documentation.

+If you specify `@path` on the command-line, then it will open `path` and read
+command line options from it. These options are one per line; a blank line indicates
+an empty option. The file can use Unix or Windows style line endings, and must be
+encoded as UTF-8.
