Function types have no primitive page in docs

Similar to #15318 and #15654

@alexcrichton @huonw how do I make this happen? is this another 'dummy module' thing?

[alexcrichton]

It would likely require modifying code somewhere around here and adding a dummy (private) module or declaring another one as #![doc(primitive = "fn")]

Triage: no change

Adding a page for function pointers as a whole (under some general name fn or the like) is a small enough change, but unless i've missed something, there are no impl blocks anywhere that could be picked up for that page. It's the curse of variadic generics, but unlike arrays and tuples, there are no stock impls for function pointer types up to a certain arity. Is a nearly-empty page (save for the doc(primitive) block that creates the page in the first place) acceptable?

cc @rust-lang/docs: What do we want to display for documentation on function pointers as a whole? I have a short blurb that mainly just links to the Fn* traits, and a note that function pointers are Copy, so far, but do we have anything else to add?

On second thought, i'll just upload what i have and let that discussion happen there. The PR to add this is #43529.

@petrochenkov I stand corrected. I'll start working that in, then. Thanks!
