Rollup merge of #91987 - jsha:docdocgoose, r=jyn514

Add module documentation for rustdoc passes

These are currently documented at https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/rustdoc-internals.html#hot-potato but can easily go out of date. We'd like to document them in place and link to https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/nightly-rustc/rustdoc/passes/index.html

[Discussed on Zulip](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/266220-rustdoc/topic/moving.20pass.20docs/near/265058351).
