docs.rs fails to build docs because ` --resource-suffix` was removed from rustc in 1.58.1

Additional details

When pushing my crate off-rs to crates.io the docs build fails on docs.rs with the following error:

[INFO] [stderr]  Documenting off-rs v0.1.3 (/opt/rustwide/workdir)
[INFO] [stderr] thread 'rustc' panicked at 'no entry found for key', src/librustdoc/passes/collect_intra_doc_links.rs:929:16
[INFO] [stderr] note: run with `RUST_BACKTRACE=1` environment variable to display a backtrace

[INFO] [stderr] 
[INFO] [stderr] error: Unrecognized option: 'resource-suffix'
[INFO] [stderr] 
[INFO] [stderr] error: could not document `off-rs`

I haven't got it to work ever since it first failed (the first version worked). The repo is here: https://github.com/michidk/off-rs/tree/6a0146d4f2cadb1e46ce8849abd0269cd97d3528
Building the docs locally on my machine works without any issues, even on nightly.

I expected to see this happen: Docs build successfully on docs.rs

Instead, this happened: Rust panics, full log: https://docs.rs/crate/off-rs/0.1.3/builds/500166

Edit: Can replicated it locally, by using rustc v 1.58.1. With v1.58 it worked, with v1.58.1 it fails using this command rustdoc +nightly --edition=2021 --crate-type lib --crate-name off_rs src/lib.rs --target x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu -o target/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/doc --error-format=json --json=diagnostic-rendered-ansi,artifacts,future-incompat -C metadata=390ff25bd5d00bc9 -L dependency=target/x86_64-unknown-linux-gnu/debug/deps -L dependency=target/debug/deps -Z unstable-options --emit=invocation-specific --resource-suffix -20220126-1.60.0-nightly-6abb6385b --static-root-path / --cap-lints warn --disable-per-crate-search --crate-version 0.1.3

Seems like --resource-suffix was removed from rust without adjusting docs.rs

I believe the "unrecognized option" message is wrong and some side-effect of the initial error, rustdoc definitely still supports --resource-suffix otherwise all builds on docs.rs would be erroring. Running just cargo doc --no-deps complains about --crate-version not being supported 😅.

By just deleting the intra-doc-links it appears to be the [`parse`](`crate::parser::Parser::parse`) that is causing an issue; that is somehow broken on the nightly rustdoc.

--resource-suffix hasn't been removed, that's just a poor error that happens when there's an ice (being fixed in rust-lang/rust#92310). The actual error is

[INFO] [stderr] thread 'rustc' panicked at 'no entry found for key', src/librustdoc/passes/collect_intra_doc_links.rs:929:16

Could it be the (missing) lifetime in the doc comment:

[`parse`](`crate::parser::Parser::parse`) -> [`parse`](`crate::parser::Parser::<'_>::parse`)

I thought they were not required but with the anonymous lifetime added it worked.

[Nemo157]

Not sure, I tried a tiny example with a similar setup and wasn't able to reproduce, it worked just fine without a lifetime. Would be good to open a rust-lang/rust issue to try and minimize (and even if the lifetime is necessary that should be an error/warning not an ICE).

Opened issue for rust-lang/rust: rust-lang/rust#93428

[Nemo157]

I ran a new build since 93428 was fixed and it succeeded: https://docs.rs/off-rs/0.1.3/off_rs/ (though, I see there's been a major version bump since so probably not that important 😁).
