1. rustdoc: Implement cross-crate searching …

   A major discoverability issue with rustdoc is that all crates have their
   documentation built in isolation, so it's difficult when looking at the
   documentation for libstd to learn that there's a libcollections crate with a
   HashMap in it.
   
   This commit moves rustdoc a little closer to improving the multiple crate
   experience. This unifies all search indexes for all crates into one file so all
   pages share the same search index. This allows searching to work across crates
   in the same documentation directory (as the standard distribution is currently
   built).
   
   This strategy involves updating a shared file amongst many rustdoc processes, so
   I implemented a simple file locking API for handling synchronization for updates
   to the shared files.
