- Add a check while trying to resolve parents, so that for links like
[`::unresolved::path`], rustdoc will say:
"no item named `unresolved` in scope"
instead of:
"no item named `` in scope"
- Update corresponding test

- Check whether an unresolved path is in fact invalid. This prevents rustdoc from emitting nonsensical diagnostics like: - "no item named `std:` in scope" - "no item named `` in scope" Instead rustdoc will now say "has invalid path separator" (the same message from `MalformedGenerics::InvalidPathSeparator`) This is done by checking whether each path segment is empty or contains extra ":" after it's been split by the path separator "::". - Add a dedicated test `tests/rustdoc-ui/intra-doc/invalid-path-separator.rs` for this. - Some unrelated test snapshots have been updated because of this new check.

Replace a hardcoded constant with `mem::variant_count` to keep in-sync with the `ResolutionFailure` enum.
