Rollup merge of rust-lang#98336 - fmease:remove-faulty-doc-hidden-lint, r=GuillaumeGomez

Remove the unused-`#[doc(hidden)]` logic from the `unused_attributes` lint

Fixes rust-lang#96890.

It was found out that `#[doc(hidden)]` on trait impl items does indeed have an effect on the generated documentation (see the linked issue). In my opinion and the one of [others](https://rust-lang.zulipchat.com/#narrow/stream/266220-rustdoc/topic/Validy.20checks.20for.20.60.23.5Bdoc.28hidden.29.5D.60/near/281846219), rustdoc's output is actually a bit flawed in that regard but that should be tracked in a new issue I suppose (I will open an issue for that in the near future).

The check was introduced in rust-lang#96008 which is marked to be part of version `1.62` (current `beta`). As far as I understand, this means that **this PR needs to be backported** to `beta` to fix rust-lang#96890 on time. Correct me if I am wrong.
