Make left column of rustdoc search results narrower
To make more room for the description of the item
The description often has useful text that helps disambiguate between search results, but very little of it is shown.
As a side effect, this breaks the alignment between the search results and the "In Return Types" tab, which tends to line up above the description-- up until I started investigating this, I thought "In Names"/"In Parameters"/"In Return Types" were column headers and I just never saw search results that had info for the "In Parameters" middle column! Now, with the two columns of search results each taking up about a half, they look more like tabs than column headers.
Types that are long still wrap and look good-- I made some artificially long types in the following screenshots.

Provide `{to,from}_{ne,le,be}_bytes` functions on integers
If one doesn't view integers as containers of bytes, converting them to
bytes necessarily needs the specfication of encoding.
I think Rust is a language that wants to be explicit. The `to_bytes`
function is basically the opposite of that – it converts an integer into
the native byte representation, but there's no mention (in the function
name) of it being very much platform dependent. Therefore, I think it
would be better to replace that method by three methods, the explicit
`to_ne_bytes` ("native endian") which does the same thing and
`to_{le,be}_bytes` which return the little- resp. big-endian encoding.
Specify reentrancy gurantees of `Once::call_once`
I don't think the docs are clear about what happens in the following code
```rust
static INIT: Once = ONCE_INIT;
INIT.call_once(|| INIT.call_once(|| println!("huh?")));
```

Let's "specify" the behavior to make it clear that the current behavior (deadlock I think?) is not a strict guarantee.
volatile operations docs: clarify that this does not help wrt. concurrency

Should the intrinsics themselves also get more documentation? They generally do not seem to have much of that.
rustbuild: fix local_rebuild
If we detect a local rebuild (e.g. bootstrap compiler is the same version as target compiler), we set stage to 1.
When trying to build e.g. UnstableBook, we use Mode::ToolBootstrap and stage is 1.
Just allow Mode::ToolBootstrap and stagge != 0 if we are in a local_rebuild
This fixes building current master using current beta (as master hasn't yet been bumped to 1.30).
This should be backported to beta too, as currently we cannot build beta using itself because of that.

App-lint-cability
@eminence recently pointed out (rust-lang/cargo#5846) that it's
surprising that `cargo fix` (now shipping with Cargo itself!) doesn't
fix very common lint warnings, which is as good of a reminder as any
that we should finish #50723.
(Previously, we did this on the librustc and libsyntax crates in #50724. I filed cmr/this-week-in-rust#685 in hopes of recruiting new contributors to do the rest.)

Align 6-week cycle check with beta promotion instead of stable release.
The regression check is to make beta promotion easier, so it makes more
sense to use the Tuesday of the release week (T-2) as the end point of the
regression prevention, instead of Thursday (T-0). But since the beta
promotion PR is sent at Tuesday evening at UTC, the protection should
include the whole Tuesday as well, meaning the 6-week cycle will start from
Wednesdays.
This will also move the start of the regression protection week one day
earlier.
By adding empty `after` content that clears and is `display: block`.

Now any part of a documentation search result that is highlighted when
you hover over it should also be clickable.
