Documentation still says that `--fix` selects all targets, even though the behavior was changed

[kpreid]

Description

According to the Rust 1.89 release notes:

cargo fix and cargo clippy --fix now default to the same Cargo target selection as other build commands. Previously it would apply to all targets (like binaries, examples, tests, etc.). The --edition flag still applies to all targets.

However, the Clippy documentation still says that it implies --all-targets:

Clippy can automatically apply some lint suggestions, just like the compiler. Note that --fix implies --all-targets, so it can fix as much code as it can.

One of these must be wrong.

When you look at cargo fix --help, you get:

[…]
--all-targets       Fix all targets (default)
[…]

So I'm not sure this is a discrepancy. WDYT?

@samueltardieu You've shown that the --help agrees with the book documentation.

But both disagree with the release notes, and the actual behavior; to confirm, I just tried cargo fix and cargo clippy --fix in a project with identical extraneous muts in separate targets, and they fixed the lib target but not the test target, which is what the release notes say will happen.
