Rustdoc reports broken-intra-doc-links for Github markdown [!IMPORTANT]-type blockquotes

[Qix-]

I tried this code:

#![doc = include_str!("../README.md")]

> [!IMPORTANT]
> This is an important message

I expected to see this happen: Rustdoc at least generating documentation (perhaps not with specialized support for the [!FOO] syntax, but at least not error)

Instead, this happened: With env RUSTFLAGS="-D warnings", rustdoc errored with unresolved link to '!NOTICE'

We actually already suppress this lint on shortcut-style links specifically in some cases, so i guess it wouldn't be the worst to suppress them in a few other cases, i guess?

Yeah, especially given that there are a finite number of them: https://github.com/orgs/community/discussions/16925

If you point me in the right direction as to where to look for this, I'm happy to submit a PR :)

it's in preprocess_link in passes/collect_intra_doc_links.rs.

we could probably just look for the ! at the start for shortcut links specifically (collapsed links and all the other ones are pretty unambiguous)
