rustdoc perf: clone `clean::Item` less

In https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/130798, I caused a small perf regression for rustdoc (see https://github.com/rust-lang/rust/pull/130807#issuecomment-2373116917), so here is a small improvement to make up for it 😺.

This change is actually unrelated to the minor perf regression in `Item::stability` and instead fixes a more relevant perf problem that I found while investigating: For certain crates with many impls on type aliases, we unnecessarily cloned large `clean::Item`s multiple times -- now we just borrow them.
