Description

Right now, [src] links in docs point at rustdoc-generated source listings such as this one. Given that docs.rs has its own native source tree browser, those links should point to that instead.

Research direction

Start by locating the logic that generates [src] links in docs.rs and compare its current rustdoc URL construction with the native Source tab URL structure. Update the link target so generated documentation points to docs.rs's source browser, then verify that representative [src] links open the expected Source tab.
