set cfg(rustdoc) when rustdoc is running on a crate
When using `#[doc(cfg)]` to document platform-specific items, it's a little cumbersome to get all the platforms' items to appear all at once. For example, the standard library adds `--cfg dox` to rustdoc's command line whenever it builds docs, and the documentation for `#![feature(doc_cfg)]` suggests using a Cargo feature to approximate the same thing. This is a little awkward, because you always need to remember to set `--features dox` whenever you build documentation.
This PR proposes making rustdoc set `#[cfg(rustdoc)]` whenever it runs on a crate, to provide an officially-sanctioned version of this that is set automatically. This way, there's a standardized way to declare that a certain version of an item is specifically when building docs.
To try to prevent the spread of this feature from happening too quickly, this PR also restricts the use of this flag to whenever `#![feature(doc_cfg)]` is active. I'm sure there are other uses for this, but right now i'm tying it to this feature. (If it makes more sense to give this its own feature, i can easily do that.)

Implement the `min_const_fn` feature gate
cc @RalfJung @eddyb
r? @Centril
implements the feature gate for #53555
I added a hack so the `const_fn` feature gate also enables the `min_const_fn` feature gate. This ensures that nightly users of `const_fn` don't have to touch their code at all.
The `min_const_fn` checks are run first, and if they succeeded, the `const_fn` checks are run additionally to ensure we didn't miss anything.
move the Pin API into its own module for centralized documentation
This implements the change proposed by @withoutboats in #49150, as suggested by @RalfJung in the review of #53104,
along with the documentation that was originally in it, that was deemed more appropriate in module-level documentation.

Suggest direct raw-pointer dereference
People often come looking for some kind of `as_ref_unchecked` method on
raw pointers that would give them `&T` and not `Option<&T>` when they
are sure the pointer is not NULL.
There's no such method, but taking a reference of the dereferenced
pointer accomplishes the same thing. Therefore, suggest using that, at
the `as_ref` site ‒ it's a place people are likely going to look into.
