Improve path segment joining.

There are many places that join path segments with `::` to produce a
string. A lot of these use `join("::")`. Many in rustdoc use
`join_with_double_colon`, and a few use `.joined("..")`. One in Clippy
uses `itertools::join`. A couple of them look for `kw::PathRoot` in the
first segment, which can be important.

This commit introduces `rustc_ast::join_path_{syms,ident}` to do the
joining for everyone. `rustc_ast` is as good a location for these as
any, being the earliest-running of the several crates with a `Path`
type. Two functions are needed because `Ident` printing is more complex
than simple `Symbol` printing.

The commit also removes `join_with_double_colon`, and
`estimate_item_path_byte_length` with it.

There are still a handful of places that join strings with "::" that are
unchanged. They are not that important: some of them are in tests, and
some of them first split a path around "::" and then rejoin with "::".

This fixes one test case where `{{root}}` shows up in an error message.
