Description
When one publishes a new crate, it could take some time before docs.rs is able to build its docs for the first time and during that time, docs.rs/crate-name just says "no such crate". It would be great if it instead showed a template page that says that crate docs are currently in the build queue and will be available shortly.

Research direction
No files or tests are named. Start by tracing how docs.rs handles requests for crates that have not built yet, then inspect how build-queue state is represented. Done means a newly published crate in the queue shows a waiting template instead of “no such crate,” while unavailable crates still receive the appropriate response.
