auto merge of rust-lang#14346 : alexcrichton/rust/rustdoc-external-cr…
…ates, r=pcwalton This commit alters rustdoc to crawl the metadata of upstream libraries in order to fill in default methods for traits implemented in downstream crates. This, for example, documents the `insert` function on hash maps. This is a fairly lossy extraction from the metadata. Documentation and attributes are lost, but they aren't used anyway. Unfortunately, argument names are also lost because they are not present in the metadata. Source links are also lost because the spans are not serialized. While not perfect, it appears that presenting this documentation through rustdoc is much better than nothing, so I wanted to land this to allow iteration on it later on.
