I think list doesn't quite match that part of the policy because of what you said, but @bors r+ rollup |

Add doc aliases "vector" and "list" to `Vec` - "vector" is what "vec" is short form for. - "list" is a common name for this concept in a lot of other languages (`ArrayList` in Java, `list` in Python, `List` in C#). C++ uses the term for a linked list (`std::list`), so maybe this is contentious? I believe that this falls under [the doc alias policy](https://std-dev-guide.rust-lang.org/policy/doc-alias.html), and I think it's plausible that a newcomer would search for either of these terms, and expect to find `Vec`. r? libs
