rustdoc-search: search never type with !

This feature extends rustdoc to support the syntax that most users will
naturally attempt to use to search for diverging functions.
Part of #60485

It's already possible to do this search with `primitive:never`, but
that's not what the Rust language itself uses, so nobody will try it if
they aren't told or helped along.
