[rustdoc] Calculate span information on demand instead of storing it ahead of time

This brings `size_of<clean::types::Span>()` down from over 100 bytes (!!) to only 12, the same as rustc. It brings `Item` down even more, from `784` to `680`.

~~TODO: I need to figure out how to do this for the JSON backend too. That uses `From` impls everywhere, which don't allow passing in the `Session` as an argument. `@P1n3appl3,` `@tmandry,` maybe one of you have ideas?~~ Figured it out, fortunately only two functions needed to be changed. I like the `convert_x()` format better than `From` everywhere but I'm open to feedback.

Helps with #79103
