Auto merge of #65750 - nnethercote:cheaper-doc-comments, r=petrochenkov

Cheaper doc comments

This PR implements the idea from #60935: represent doc comments more cheaply, rather than converting them into `#[doc="..."]` attribute form. Unlike #60936 (which is about coalescing doc comments to reduce their number), this approach does not have any backwards compatibility concerns, and it eliminates about 80-90% of the current cost of doc comments (as estimated using the numbers in #60930, which eliminated the cost of doc comments entirely by treating them as normal comments).
