Auto merge of #13573 - y21:issue13427, r=Centri3

Don't lint unnamed consts and nested items within functions in `missing_docs_in_private_items`

With this change we no longer require doc comments for `const _: ()` items as well as nested items in functions or other bodies. In both of those cases, rustdoc generates no documentation even with `--document-private-items`.

Fixes #13427 (first commit)
Fixes #13298 (second commit)
cc #5736 (comment)

changelog: [`missing_docs_in_private_items`]: avoid linting in more cases where rustdoc generates no documentation
