Auto merge of #69084 - yaahc:delayed-doc-lint, r=yaahc
Split non macro portion of unused_doc_comment from macro part into two passes/lints
## Motivation
This change is motivated by the needs of the [spandoc library](https://github.com/yaahc/spandoc). The specific use case is that my macro is removing doc comments when an attribute is applied to a fn with doc comments, but I would like the lint to still appear when I forget to add the `#[spandoc]` attribute to a fn, so I don't want to have to silence the lint globally.
## Approach
This change splits the `unused _doc_comment` lint into two lints, `unused_macro_doc_comment` and `unused_doc_comment`. The non macro portion is moved into an `early_lint_pass` rather than a pre_expansion_pass. This allows proc macros to silence `unused_doc_comment` warnings by either adding an attribute to silence it or by removing the doc comment before the early_pass runs.
The `unused_macro_doc_comment` lint however will still be impossible for proc-macros to silence, but the only alternative that I can see is to remove this lint entirely, which I don't think is acceptable / is a decision I'm not comfortable making personally, so instead I opted to split the macro portion of the check into a separate lint so that it can be silenced globally with an attribute if necessary without needing to globally silence the `unused_doc_comment` lint as well, which is still desireable.
