Integrate mdbook-spec for the reference.

This updates the reference which is now using a new mdbook plugin. This
requires a little extra work than a normal book because the plugin uses
`rustdoc` to generate links to the standard library. It also ensures
that the submodule is available for *any* command that uses rustbook,
since it is now part of the rustbook workspace.
