rustdoc: skip stability inheritance for some item kinds

For some item kinds it's incorrect to inherit their parent's stability, because they might be accessible without referring to the parent directly -- This PR removes the stability inheritance for these items and reverts their displayed stability to that before #130798.

Impl items, both inherent and trait impls, have a stability, but it is ignored when checking for enabled features. However, impl items are automatically unstable if they're nested inside an unstable module -- this caused the children of impl to inherit the instability and lead to #132440.

Furthermore, for associated items only the stability of the associated item itself is checked and not that of its parent impl. This is true even for trait impls and we have [relied on this behavior in the standard library in the past](https://doc.rust-lang.org/1.37.0/std/slice/trait.SliceConcatExt.html#tymethod.concat), so these also shouldn't inherit the impl's stability.

I've also removed the stability inheritance for primitives and keywords so that viewing e.g. [the `i32` docs on `core`](https://doc.rust-lang.org/nightly/core/primitive.i32.html) will no longer show "since 1.6.0". Note that we currently don't annotate stability for the keyword docs, but if we start doing so in the future then this is probably more correct.

fixes (after backport) #132440
