rustdoc: Fix handling of `Self` type in search index and refactor its representation

### Summary

- Add enum variant `clean::Type::SelfTy` and use it instead of `clean::Type::Generic(kw::SelfUpper)`.
- Stop treating `Self` as a generic in the search index.
- Remove struct formerly known as `clean::SelfTy` (constructed as representation of function receiver type). We're better off without it.
