Description

ghc 8.6 introduced a ```:doc``` command. It might be useful to somehow show this in haskell-doc, in addition to type signatures.

Research direction

Start from the haskell-doc functionality and review the linked GHCi :doc command documentation to understand how it should complement type signatures. Determine how :doc output should be shown, then verify that haskell-doc supports the new command alongside existing signatures.
