1. Always resolve type@primitive as a primitive, not a module …

   Previously, if there were a module in scope with the same name as the
   primitive, that would take precedence. Coupled with
   rust-lang#58699, this made it impossible
   to link to the primitive when that module was in scope.
   
   This approach could be extended so that `struct@foo` would no longer resolve
   to any type, etc. However, it could not be used for glob imports:
   
   ```rust
   pub mod foo {
     pub struct Bar;
   }
   
   pub enum Bar {}
   use foo::*;
   
   // This is expected to link to `inner::Bar`, but instead it will link to the enum.
   /// Link to [struct@Bar]
   pub struct MyDocs;
   ```
   
   The reason for this is that this change does not affect the resolution
   algorithm of rustc_resolve at all. The only reason we could special-case
   primitives is because we have a list of all possible primitives ahead of time.
