rustdoc: Add option to persist doc test executables

 (grouping of crate docs generated into the same output directory, like with `cargo doc`). Per-crate
 files like the search index will still load from the documentation root, but anything that gets
 renamed with `--resource-suffix` will load from the given path.
+
+### `--persist-doctests`: persist doctest executables after running
+
+Using this flag looks like this:
+
+```bash
+$ rustdoc src/lib.rs --test -Z unstable-options --persist-doctests target/rustdoctest
+```
+
+This flag allows you to keep doctest executables around after they're compiled or run.
+Usually, rustdoc will immediately discard a compiled doctest after it's been tested, but
+with this option, you can keep those binaries around for farther testing.
