This PR reworks the --print options documentation, by making it more like codegen options with a dedicated page.

I also added some examples and split some paragraph into multiple paragraph since we now have more place.

Discussion: should we explicitly point out something like, unless the output format is explicitly documented as a stability guarantee, then the output format may be intended for human consumptions only and may change between compiler versions?

(Meta: this is of course in comparison to something that would be first-class designed to be machine-consumable, like a --print-json=... e.g. #t-compiler/major changes > Add `--print=supported-crate-types` compiler-team#836 @ 💬)

The discussion bit is mostly a .oO and does not block this PR at all. I think that may warrant a separate discussion, so I'll file a zulip thread.
