Recommend to never display zero disambiguators when demangling v0 symbols #124514

Conversation

This PR extends the v0 symbol mangling documentation with the strong recommendation that demanglers should never display zero-disambiguators, especially when dealing with crate-root.

Being able to rely on C3foo to be rendered as foo (i.e. without explicit disambiguator value) rather than as foo[0] allows the compiler to encode things like new basic types in a backward compatible way. This idea has been originally proposed by @eddyb in the discussion around supporting f16 and f128 in the v0 mangling scheme. It is a generally useful mechanism for supporting a certain class of new elements in the v0 mangling scheme in a backward compatible way (whether as a temporary workaround until downstream tooling has picked up grammar changes or as a permanent encoding).
