Rollup merge of #147027 - GuillaumeGomez:tyalias-disambiguator, r=lolbinarycat

Add new `tyalias` intra-doc link disambiguator

Fixes https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/issues/146855.

Alternative to rust-lang/rust#146866.

This adds support for a new disambiguator: `tyalias`. I think it's common enough to have type aliases nowaday, so no reason to not be able to have a disambiguator for them.

 These prefixes will be stripped when displayed in the documentation, so `[struct@Foo]` will be
 rendered as `Foo`. The following prefixes are available: `struct`, `enum`, `trait`, `union`,

 You can also disambiguate for functions by adding `()` after the function name,
 or for macros by adding `!` after the macro name. The macro `!` can be followed by `()`, `{}`,
