Description
While reading documentation or viewing a specific module it shows (Primitive Types, Macros and Keywords) on sidebar. It is very overwhelming to scroll up and press [-] or to scroll down completely to view Structs, Enums, Traits, Functions, etc. Instead they can be placed on the sidebar with dropdowns to navigate easily.

Start with rustdoc's sidebar while viewing a specific module, focusing on the groups named in the issue: Primitive Types, Macros, Keywords, Structs, Enums, Traits, and Functions. Define the dropdown interaction and verify that these groups can be expanded or collapsed without requiring users to scroll to the top or bottom.
