Rollup merge of #107108 - sulami:issue-83968-doc-alias-typo-suggestio…

…ns, r=compiler-errors

Consider doc(alias) when providing typo suggestions

This means that

```rust
impl Foo {
    #[doc(alias = "quux")]
    fn bar(&self) {}
}

fn main() {
    (Foo {}).quux();
}
```

will suggest `bar`. This currently uses the "there is a method with a similar name" help text, because the point where we choose and emit a suggestion is different from where we gather the suggestions. Changes have mainly been made to the latter.

The selection code will now fall back to aliased candidates, but generally only if there is no candidate that matches based on the existing Levenshtein methodology.

Fixes #83968.
