rustdoc-search: simplify rules for generics and type params

This commit is a response to feedback on the displayed type
signatures results, by making generics act stricter.

Generics are tightened by making order significant. This means
`Vec<Allocator>` now matches only with a true vector of allocators,
instead of matching the second type param. It also makes unboxing
within generics stricter, so `Result<A, B>` only matches if `B`
is in the error type and `A` is in the success type. The top level
of the function search is unaffected.
