Add json output to -Zdump-mono-stats

This allows analyzing the output programatically; for example, finding
the item with the highest `total_estimate`.

I also took the liberty of adding `untracked` tests to `rustc_session` and documentation to the unstable book for `dump-mono-items`.

+--------------------
+
+The `-Z dump-mono-stats-format` compiler flag controls what file format to use for `-Z dump-mono-stats`.
+The default is markdown; currently JSON is also supported. JSON can be useful for programatically manipulating the results (e.g. to find the item that took the longest to compile).

+# `dump-mono-stats`
+
+--------------------
+
+The `-Z dump-mono-stats` compiler flag generates a file with a list of the monomorphized items in the current crate.
+It is useful for investigating compile times.
+
+It accepts an optional directory where the file will be located. If no directory is specified, the file will be placed in the current directory.
+
+See also `-Z dump-mono-stats-format` and `-Z print-mono-items`. Unlike `print-mono-items`,
+`dump-mono-stats` aggregates monomorphized items by definition and includes a size estimate of how
+large the item is when codegened.
+
+See <https://rustc-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/backend/monomorph.html> for an overview of monomorphized items.
