rustdoc: Support argument files
Factors out the `rustc_driver` logic that handles argument files so that rustdoc supports them as well, e.g.:
rustdoc `@argfile`
This is needed to be able to generate docs for projects that already use argument files when compiling them, e.g. projects that pass a huge number of `--cfg` arguments.
The feature was stabilized for `rustc` in #66172.

The driver crate is effectively the "main" function for the rust
compiler. It orchestrates the compilation process and "knits together"
the code from the other crates within rustc. This crate itself does
not contain any of the "main logic" of the compiler (though it does
have some code related to pretty printing or other minor compiler
options).
For more information about how the driver works, see the rustc dev guide.
