Auto merge of rust-lang#74955 - P1n3appl3:rustdoc-formats, r=GuillaumeGomez

Add `--output-format json` for Rustdoc on nightly

This enables the previously deprecated `--output-format` flag so it can be used on nightly to host the experimental implementation of [rfc/2963](rust-lang/rfcs#2963). The actual implementation will come in later PRs so for now there's just a stub that gives you an ICE.

I'm _pretty_ sure that the logic I added makes it inaccessible from stable, but someone should double check that. @tmandry @jyn514
