rustdoc: handle generics better when matching notable traits

This commit makes the `clean::Type::is_same` non-commutative, so
that a generic `impl` matches a concrete return, but a generic return
does not match a concrete `impl`. It makes slice and vector Write
for `u8` not match on every generic return value.
