Uses an iframe instead. The downside of iframes comes from them
not necessarily being same-origin as the main page (particularly
with `file:///` URLs), which can cause themes to fall out of sync,
but that's not a problem here since themes don't work without JS
anyway.
Before this change, the Rust `unstable-book` is 88MiB.
With this change, it becomes 15MiB. Other pages might not be
as extreme, but it's expected to help any book like this.
This change is so drastic because, if every chapter has a link to
every other chapter, the result is *O*(n<sup>2</sup>) text output.
Above mentioned function copies files (recursively) from a source to a
destination directory. For that, file/directory paths have to be created
repeatedly. This allocates as directory and file names are concatenated
into an owning path structure.
The number of allocations can be reduced by creating file/directory
paths only once and borrowing them instead of cloning/recreating them.
In bigger projects, this reduces execution time noticeably. Please note
that file system operations are dominant from performance POV.
on rust reference book this reduces total allocs from 490mb to 474mb:
==23272== Total: 490,538,699 bytes in 1,760,117 blocks
==23272== At t-gmax: 13,872,954 bytes in 4,655 blocks

Currently, the output from `rustdoc --test` is not colored because
`rustdoc`'s stdout is not a tty. The output of a failed `rustdoc` run is
sent to `mdbook`'s stderr via the `error!()` macro. This commit checks
if stderr is a tty using the standard `.is_terminal()` and if so, passes
`--color always` to `rustdoc`.
The test output from `rustdoc` includes the full path that `rustdoc` was
called with. This obscures the path of the file with the error. E.g.,
```
---- /var/folders/9v/90bm7kb10fx3_bprxltb3t1r0000gn/T/mdbook-tnGJxp/lab0/index.md - Lab_0__Getting_Started (line 3) stdout ----
error: expected one of `!`, `.`, `::`, `;`, `?`, `{`, `}`, or an operator, found `code`
--> /var/folders/9v/90bm7kb10fx3_bprxltb3t1r0000gn/T/mdbook-tnGJxp/lab0/index.md:4:6

```
This commit runs `rustdoc` in the temp directory and replaces any
relative library paths with absolute library paths. This leads to
simpler error messages. The one above becomes
```
---- lab0/index.md - Lab_0__Getting_Started (line 3) stdout ----
error: expected one of `!`, `.`, `::`, `;`, `?`, `{`, `}`, or an operator, found `code`
--> lab0/index.md:4:6

```
(with colors, of course).
