A race condition in Javascript was causing unpredictable ordering of the sidebar boxes when loading documentation generated by rustdoc, due to the script that adds the Crates box being executed asynchronously. Disabling the asynchronous execution and deferring this script should ensure that the Crates box always appears last in the sidebox (this seemed to be the more common ordering prior to this change). Fixes rust-lang#29698
