Document unintuitive argument order for Vec::dedup_by relation
When trying to use dedup_by to merge some auxiliary information from
removed elements into kept elements, I was surprised to observe that
vec.dedup_by(same_bucket) calls same_bucket(a, b) where b appears
before a in the vector, and discards a when true is returned. This
argument order is probably a bug, but since it has already been
stabilized, I guess we should document it as a feature and move on.
(Vec::dedup also uses == with this unexpected argument order, but I
figure that’s not important since == is expected to be symmetric with
no side effects.)
