[rustdoc-json] Regression — core.json, alloc.json and std.json are no longer available on nightly for rust-docs-json component

I have pinned down the regression to a specific commit, thanks to @aDotInTheVoid recommending me cargo-bisect-rustc.

Output of cargo bisect-rustc

if [ ! -f ~/.rustup/toolchains/${RUSTUP_TOOLCHAIN}/share/doc/rust/json/core.json ]; then
    echo "File not found!"
    exit 1
fi

Based on the commits in that rollup, I feel like #128182 might be the culprit, but it isn't obvious to me why that might be the case (cc @onur-ozkan, @ChrisDenton, @Mark-Simulacrum)

Thanks for the ping, #128631 will fix this.
