Panic in cargo doc with resolver = "2" when indirectly depending on proc-macro2

[maddiemort]

Problem
cargo doc panics when run on crate A that depends on crate B, when crate B depends on proc-macro2. This does not happen when directly running cargo doc on crate B.

Error & Backtrace

Steps

1. Clone the minimal example at https://github.com/nerosnm/proc-macro-resolver-bug
2. Run cargo doc (or, more explicitly, cargo +nightly-2021-01-10 doc)

Possible Solution(s)
This looks similar to #8774 to me, although from what I can tell it's not explicitly relying on any features specific to the new resolver.

Notes
Output of cargo version: cargo 1.51.0-nightly (329895f 2021-01-06)

@nerosnm Thanks for the clear report and reproduction. I see what's going on, but it is uncovering some long festering problems with how cargo integrates with rustdoc. I'll need to think about it for a bit to try to decide on the best course to take.
