Description
I thought at first about using [profile.doc], but it is doing nothing (as displayed by cargo itself) and there are no other way to do so.
Then I looked a bit deeper and noticed that you can't set features under profiles, making this not the right approach.
Therefore, I suggest adding a new section simply called "rustdoc" which would allow for now:
[rustdoc]
features = ["whatever"]

Research direction
Start with the cargo doc entry point and the existing [profile.doc] configuration behavior described in the issue. Review the discussion around adding a [rustdoc] section with a features setting, and consider the work complete when cargo doc can read that configuration and use the requested features.
