We previously shied away from this in order to not /accidentally/
depend on it, but it becomes interesting again with textual
interfaces, which can certainly be read by humans. The cross-file
order is the order of input files, which is at least controllable by
users.
Let's say I am a good citizen and document my private symbols:
/** My TOP SECRET DOCUMENTATION */
private class Foo {
}
When I go to distribute the compiled binary, I find out my private
documentation is distributed as well:
$ swiftc test.swift -emit-module -module-name "test"
$ strings test.swiftdoc
My TOP SECRET DOCUMENTATION
/** My TOP SECRET DOCUMENTATION */
If a client can't use a symbol (e.g. it's private [or internal and not
-enable-testing]) don't emit the documentation for a symbol in the
swiftdoc.

The test coverage implements this truth table:
| visibility | -enable-testing | documentation? |
|------------|-----------------|----------------|
| private | no | ❌ |
| internal | no | ❌ |
| public | no | ✅ |
| private | yes | ❌ |
| internal | yes | ✅ |
| public | yes | ✅ |
Modified the existing comments test coverage to expect non-public
documentation not to be emitted.
Don't rely on existing comment structure
Refuse to emit comments if the decl cannot actually have one. To
accomplish this, we move `canHaveComment` into the Decl instance. It
must also be marked `const`, since one of its existing usages operates
on a const pointer.
Perform fewer checks when serializing the standard library.
