Don't look for blanket impls in intra-doc links

This never worked and has been causing severe performance problems.
Hopefully it will be re-landed at some point in the future when it
actually works, but in the meantime it makes no sense to have the code
around when it does nothing and actively makes rustdoc harder to use.
