Description
Context: When reorder_imports = true, rustfmt mixes pub imports in with private imports.
Please add an option to put pub imports (aka exports) before normal imports.
IMO it's not idiomatic to mix them in with normal imports because they are also exports and deserve extra attention so I usually put them before normal imports and then leave an empty line between.

Research direction
Start by tracing rustfmt's existing reorder_imports option and the tests or configuration documentation that define its behavior. Determine where public imports are classified and ordered, then specify how a new option should group them before private imports and insert the requested blank line; done means the option is documented and covered by formatter tests.
