Mention spec and indented blocks in doctest docs
This commit adds a new section to the Documentation Test docs, which briefly mentions indented code blocks, and links to the CommonMark specification for both. I’m not sure about saying "fenced code blocks the more popular choice in the Rust community” because it seems like I’m speaking for everyone, but I can’t think of a better way to phrase it!

## Syntax reference
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
The *exact* syntax for code blocks, including the edge cases, can be found
|
||||||
|
in the [Fenced Code Blocks](https://spec.commonmark.org/0.28/#fenced-code-blocks)
|
||||||
|
section of the CommonMark specification.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
Rustdoc also accepts *indented* code blocks as an alternative to fenced
|
||||||
|
code blocks: instead of surrounding your code with three backticks, you
|
||||||
|
can indent each line by four or more spaces.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
``````markdown
|
||||||
|
let foo = "foo";
|
||||||
|
assert_eq!(foo, "foo");
|
||||||
|
``````
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
These, too, are documented in the CommonMark specification, in the
|
||||||
|
[Indented Code Blocks](https://spec.commonmark.org/0.28/#indented-code-blocks)
|
||||||
|
section.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
However, it's preferable to use fenced code blocks over indented code blocks.
|
||||||
|
Not only are fenced code blocks the more popular choice in the Rust community,
|
||||||
|
but there is no way to use directives such as `ignore` or `should_panic` with
|
||||||
|
indented code blocks.
