rustdoc crate stable version number is misleading

[brson]

Every release I verify the docs, and go to this page. Every release this page says, in big text at the top of the page, "1.0.0". Casual users will not understand what this label means - they will expect it to correspond to the current release.

I think this label provides little value (negative actually, considering this issue) - stability attributes only apply to in-tree crates, and the set of stable crates rarely changes.

I suggest removing this label and instead finding some way to indicate the version of the crate.

How about something like the following?

@brson I would like to contribute with this

Closing as duplicate of #24336, since this is just that issue applied to the (very visible example of) libstd. (I left a hint in there, but the implementation details are slightly up to a team decision to make sure we don't couple too tightly to Cargo.)
