Title: repair macro docs

In f1ad425199b0d89dab275a8c8f6f29a73d316f70, I changed the handling
of macros, to prevent macro invocations from occurring in fully expanded
source. Instead, I added a side table. It contained only the
spans of the macros, because this was the only information required
in order to make macro export work.

However, librustdoc was also affected by this change, since it
extracts macro information in a similar way. As a result of the earlier
change, exported macros were no longer documented.

In order to repair this, I've adjusted the side table to contain whole
items, rather than just the spans.

Note that the resulting macro documentation now appears at the
top level of the crate.
