Normalize <X as Y>::T for rustdoc

- Only run for `QPath::Resolved` with `Some` self parameter (`<X as Y>::T`)
- Fall back to the previous behavior if the path can't be resolved
- Show what the behavior is if the type can't be normalized
- Run `resolve_vars_if_possible`

  It's not clear whether or not this is necessary. See
  rust-lang#77616 for more context.

- Add a test for cross-crate re-exports
- Use the same code for both `hir::Ty` and `Ty`
